This material can safely and permanently remove and trap carbon dioxide for 10,000-100,000 years, while enriching soils and increasing crop yields on farms. (Photo: Lithos Carbon) Lithos uses a high-quality, organic byproduct volcanic rockdust from the U.
S. to sequester CO 2 from the atmosphere. This volcanic rockdust is spread over croplands, where it traps atmospheric CO 2 permanently while releasing nutrients into the soil and reducing the amount of fertilizer needed to keep farms flourishing.
In partnership with the field’s leading academics, Lithos is also commercializing rigorous techniques for quantifying the precis.
