Turn it to *11*! The greenhouse tactics that accelerate our ERW research

Boosting ERW: The Secret Climate Tweaks of Our Greenhouse Revealed!

We are thrilled to share our first blog article featuring in-depth data of the ambient climate in our Carbdown greenhouse, where we run hundreds of enhanced weathering experiments near Fürth, Germany. With rock weathering as a promising method for carbon dioxide removal, our team has been ardently harnessing the ambient climate within the greenhouse to accelerate these ERW experiments. By turning every possible variable "to 11", we've prioritized strong weathering signals and performance, even if it means straying from natural conditions - for now.

We are sharing a lot of graphs with the data we've accumulated since January. These graphs reveal interesting insights into how the greenhouse's environment has been meticulously tweaked to optimize and assess rock weathering rates. From temperature and humidity to light intensity, we are tweaking and monitoring hundreds of metrics with scientific precision to produce and measure the most reliable and swift weathering signals. And while the controlled environment of the greenhouse offers its advantages, it's also a precursor to understanding and implementing these tactics in the vast, more unpredictable outdoors.

For a deep dive into the specifics of our greenhouse strategies, the data we've gathered, and the reasoning behind our "turn it to 11" approach, we invite you to explore our latest blog post: "Turn it to 11! The greenhouse tactics that accelerate our ERW research".
