Terradot accelerates the natural silicate weathering process by distributing finely ground mineral powders on tropical agricultural lands, turning rain‑soil interactions into a permanent carbon sink. Their proprietary processing, real‑time monitoring, and farmer partnerships enable scalable, verifiable CO₂ removal while improving soil health and crop yields.

Problem
Atmospheric CO₂ concentrations are rising faster than natural removal processes can offset, and existing carbon removal technologies struggle to achieve the gigaton-scale reductions needed to meet IPCC climate targets.
Solution
Terradot aims to accelerate the planet’s natural silicate weathering reaction—a permanent geological carbon sink—through Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW). By distributing finely ground silicate minerals on agricultural lands in the global tropics, especially Brazil, the company leverages high rainfall and warm temperatures to increase the rate of CO₂ capture and conversion into stable carbonate minerals. Terradot integrates scientific research, proprietary mineral processing technology, and a coalition of partners to scale ERW from pilot plots to gigaton-level removal. The approach also delivers co‑benefits for soil health, crop yields, and local economies, aligning climate mitigation with food system resilience and sustainable development goals.
Target Audience
Primary customers are large‑scale agricultural producers and agribusiness platforms operating in tropical regions, as well as climate‑focused investors and NGOs seeking verifiable, permanent carbon removal solutions.
Features
- Proprietary grinding and formulation process that produces mineral powders optimized for rapid dissolution in tropical soils
- Field deployment model that integrates ERW into existing agricultural practices with minimal operational disruption
- Real‑time monitoring platform that tracks CO₂ removal rates, soil chemistry, and agronomic outcomes using sensor data and geospatial analytics
- Partnerships with local farmers, agribusinesses, and governmental agencies to ensure supply chain logistics and regulatory compliance
- Lifecycle assessment framework that quantifies permanent carbon sequestration and ancillary benefits such as nutrient recycling and yield improvements
