The company spreads crushed basalt on farms in India and Africa. Silica-rich volcanic rock improves soil quality for crops but also helps remove <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/carbondioxide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>carbondioxide</span></a> from air. It does this by reacting with dissolved <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/CO2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CO2</span></a> in soil's water, turning it into bicarbonate ions and preventing it from returning to the atmosphere. <br><a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/xprize-makes-history-awards-100m-prize-for-groundbreaking-carbon-removal-solutions-302435179.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">prnewswire.com/news-releases/x</span><span class="invisible">prize-makes-history-awards-100m-prize-for-groundbreaking-carbon-removal-solutions-302435179.html</span></a></p>
Alan Boyle<p>Four years ago, I covered the launch of an <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/XPRIZE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>XPRIZE</span></a> competition for technologies aimed at removing CO2 from the atmosphere, with Elon <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a> providing $100 million for prizes. Things have changed quite a bit for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Elon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Elon</span></a> since then, but the competition has moved along as planned - and now we know who's won. <a href="https://cosmiclog.com/2025/04/23/mati-carbon-wins-top-prize-in-carbon-removal-competition/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">cosmiclog.com/2025/04/23/mati-</span><span class="invisible">carbon-wins-top-prize-in-carbon-removal-competition/</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MatiCarbon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MatiCarbon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ElonMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElonMusk</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tech</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Climate</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Carbon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Carbon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CO2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CO2</span></a></p>
