One of the big questions in enhanced weathering and its applications revolves around the formation of secondary minerals—those that form when the rock dissolves. This affects carbon sequestration potential and efficiency. Direct observation of those secondary minerals is difficult, if not impossible, because of the small relative amounts with respect to the main rock mass. But also because they presumably first form with disordered structures or as amorphous precursors, which prohibits...

Poster presented at EGU in Vienna (Vienna, Austria | 27 April–2 May 2025), by Lukas Rieder, University of Hamburg

As part of the larger BAM! consortium, Uppsala University has conducted batch and flow-through experiments in an effort to better understand the batch reactor setups developed by Wageningen University. Through these experiments, we have had the opportunity to study the detailed processes of bacterial and fungal-enhanced weathering. Our results show that fungal and bacterial species already present within the rock material at the start of the experiment appear to be more effective at...

By now in the BAM! project, thousands of (a)biotic combinations have been tested in simple batch reactors to identify the conditions that enhance weathering rates and, consequently, CO₂ sequestration. The specific interactions driving these effects remain largely unknown. To address this knowledge gap and to quantify weathering rates under more applied conditions, an advanced, well-instrumented bioreactor was designed, built, and operated at the University of Antwerp. Over the past year,...

We are excited to introduce a new tool for the Enhanced Rock Weathering community: an online platform that allows users to access PHREEQC directly from their browsers. Developed as a quick-check resource for verifying the reliability of measurements, this website eliminates the need for scripting or coding experience, making geochemical modeling more accessible than ever. Whether, validating experimental data, or modeling geochemical scenarios, this tool simplifies the process, enabling...

Call for Abstract Submission — ERW25 We are pleased to announce the call for abstract submissions for the upcoming ERW25, which will take place on June 3 - 5, 2025 in Antwerp. Abstracts submission will be open from 15 December to 15 March 2025. Abstracts must be submitted via this link....
