Our technology: Enabling our climate solution
At UNDO, everything we do is backed by a highly scalable, purpose-built, end-to-end tech solution which enables us and our partners to conduct operations with maximum efficiency. This technology not only captures essential data but ensures its accuracy, establishing UNDO as a leader in generating robust and verifiable carbon removal credits.
Achieving Global Scale Carbon Removal
By 2025, our goal is to spread enough silicate rock to remove a million tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere through enhanced rock weathering. Our technology allows us to operate on a global scale, enabling us to deliver high-quality, quantifiable and permanent carbon removal.
The Power of Enhanced Rock Weathering
Enhanced rock weathering has the potential to remove 4 billion tonnes of CO2 per year and stands out as one of the most promising carbon removal methods. Our innovative technology at UNDO enables the distribution and measurement of fast-weathering, nutrient-rich silicate rock fines across agricultural lands. This method not only permanently sequesters CO2 but also delivers a host of co-benefits to farmers, such as improved soil quality.
Powering Our Mission with Integrated Tech
“You can only manage what you measure.” Robust and traceable carbon removal is only possible through the collection of comprehensive operational and scientific data. That’s why we have an integrated, purpose-built tech stack that documents and quantifies our entire process, from rock distribution to carbon credit issuance. This precision measurement enables us to not just aim for, but also achieve scaled CO2 removal.
Transforming Carbon Removal and Agriculture
Our technology empowers climate action and agricultural innovation, aiming not just to remove CO2 but also to unlock a host of co-benefits. Through advanced data management and field applications, we’re pioneering new approaches to sustainable agriculture and impactful carbon removal.
Our integrated technology maximises the efficiency of enhanced rock weathering, enabling the scalable removal of millions of tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere. By optimising the process from start to finish, we ensure that our approach is not just effective but also sustainable, setting a new standard for carbon removal practices globally.
Applying silicate rock fines to agricultural lands doesn’t just capture CO2; it also releases essential nutrients into the soil, such as potassium, magnesium and silicon. This naturally enhances soil fertility, leading to improved crop health and resilience against pests and diseases.
The crushed rock we spread encourages long-term soil health improvements. The increased mineral content helps to balance soil pH, enhance water retention and promote beneficial microbial activity. These changes build stronger, more sustainable ecosystems, contributing to healthier crops and potentially reducing reliance on chemical fertilisers.
Our Global Project Screener tool identifies optimal locations for rock application, ensuring that our activities support land preservation and biodiversity. By selecting areas where enhanced rock weathering can be conducted with minimal ecological disruption, we contribute to the conservation of natural habitats and the promotion of biodiversity.
Nurturing Communities and Ecosystems
Enhancing both environmental and social outcomes, our community-based carbon removal approach supports local ecosystems and economies. By integrating enhanced rock weathering into agricultural practices, we not only tackle climate change but also promote soil health and biodiversity. Our technology streamlines the coordination and oversight of these projects, ensuring that every phase is managed with precision and accountability. This strategy helps to stimulate economic development in rural areas and maintain a balance between reducing atmospheric CO2 and nurturing thriving environments where nature and communities can flourish.
The Technology Behind Enhanced Rock Weathering and UNDO’s Success
It’s easy to think that enhanced rock weathering is as simple as “chucking rock around fields.” In very simple terms,
