ACCELERATING
CARBON REMOVAL
Permanent CO2 removal
at scale in Latin America
O U R M I S S I O N
Reducing emissions is not enough to combat climate change. We need removals.
To limit the global temperature increase to 1.5° and prevent the worst effects of climate change we will need to remove billions of tons from the atmosphere every year.
Silica’s mission is to remove CO2 at scale while regenerating soils, improving crop yields and increasing farmers’ climate resilience.

Enhanced rock weathering accelerates Earth’s natural processes to remove CO2.
The weathering of silicate rocks has regulated the Earth’s climate for millions of years. When these rocks interact with rainwater and soils, a chemical reaction locks carbon away permanently.
We are accelerating this natural process from thousands of years to just a few years by spreading fine volcanic rocks in agricultural fields and measuring the carbon removed with the highest scientific standards.

An ideal technology to remove CO2
Scalable
Potential to remove globally up to
4 billion tons of CO2 per year
Measurable
Robust science to measure CO2 removal and agronomic impact
With co-benefits
Improved soils, yields and economic opportunities for local communities
Permanent
Removed carbon is stored
for up to 100,000 years
Impact beyond carbon removal
Increased Crop Yields.
Our silicate rocks regulate soil pH and provide nutrients.
Climate Resilience.
Increased water retention and resistance to droughts and pests.
Lower costs & higher fertilizer efficiency.
A balanced pH and micronutrients increases fertilizer availability and reduces leaching. Farmers can eliminate the cost of limestone to regulate pH.
We are starting in Mexico, where we find the ideal conditions for accelerated weathering at scale and co-benefits.
Abundant rainfall and warm temperatures for faster weathering
5+ million farmers that can benefit from Silica
Potential for 100+ million tons of CO2 removed annually
Abundant high-CDR potential volcanic materials
