🌳 Not all mines are created equal - Canadian Wollastonite is proof of that. Our partner Canadian Wollastonite operates one of North America's most environmentally considerate mining sites, pioneering a greener way to source minerals for carbon removal. 🌱 Over 15,500 trees have been planted on-site, enhancing biodiversity. 🦆 Wetlands and nesting habitats have significantly boosted local populations of Purple Martins, ducks, and bats. 🐻 Less than 15% of the mine’s 220 hectares will ever be disturbed, leaving most of the land untouched for wildlife, including black bears, to roam freely. ☀️ Plans are underway to power operations through renewable energy, including new solar installations. Together, we’re not just removing carbon, we're actively improving ecosystems, supporting local wildlife, and proving responsible mining can coexist with nature. Check out the video below for a closer look at these wetlands and wildlife habitats in action 🌿🎥 #CarbonRemoval #EnhancedRockWeathering #Biodiversity #SustainableMining #ClimateAction #CanadianWollastonite #Sustainability

🌿 Canada holds enormous potential for carbon removal - and we're proud to play a part in making it happen. Last September, we officially launched our operations in Kingston, Ontario, deepening our partnership with Canadian Wollastonite. Together, we have an ambitious goal of spreading 50,000 tonnes of wollastonite across Ontario's agricultural lands this year, accelerating carbon removal through enhanced rock weathering. Our founder and CEO, Jim Mann, said it best: "Canada is rich in agricultural land and minerals. The potential for Canada to remove millions of tonnes of carbon per year is unmatched." Through partnerships like this, we're not only scaling vital carbon removal solutions but also supporting local economies and communities. Canada is uniquely positioned to lead the way in climate action, and we're excited to play our part. Thanks again to Kingston Economic Development Corporation for capturing and sharing this milestone moment. We're looking forward to working together to achieve Kingston’s ambitious goal of becoming a net-zero community by 2040.

🚨 Join us for Carbon Removal Day 2025! 🚨 On February 27th, our CEO & Founder Jim Mann will speak at Carbon Removal Day 2025 in Ottawa, joining a panel on MRV: Building Trust and Integrity in Carbon Removal, hosted by Carbon Removal Canada. As carbon removal scales, trust and integrity are critical. Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) ensures every tonne of CO₂ removed is accurate, transparent, and verifiable - essential for both voluntary and compliance markets. At UNDO, we’re committed to: ✅ Peer-reviewed agronomy trials validating CO₂ removal and soil health benefits ✅ Transparent digital tracking, ensuring every tonne is traceable to a specific farm ✅ Deep science monitoring sites, delivering robust, high-quality data 🎤 Panelists: Anu Khan – Carbon Removal Standards Initiative Jackie Mercer – Environment and Climate Change Canada J.P. Jepp - Nexus Climate & Energy Strategy Jim Mann - UNDO 📍 Event details: Thursday 27th February 2025 National Arts Centre, Ottawa 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM EST Join us for this vital discussion on building trust, ensuring market integrity, and scaling carbon removal responsibly. #CarbonRemoval #MRV #EnhancedRockWeathering #ClimateAction #CarbonMarkets #NetZero #CDR #CarbonRemovalDay #CarbonRemovalCanada

👩🔬 To celebrate #WomenInSTEM Day, we’re spotlighting Rosalie Tostevin, our Geochemistry Lead, and sharing her most recent blog on how UNDO’s Sentinel Sites, our pioneering research hubs, are pushing the boundaries of enhanced rock weathering (ERW) science. These deep-science plots help us refine new monitoring techniques, track real-world weathering rates, and strengthen the scientific foundation for scaling ERW globally. 🌍 Here’s what sets our Sentinel Sites apart: 📊 Real-time data across solid, aqueous, and gaseous phases 🧪 Advanced techniques like isotopic tracing, pore water analysis, and microbial community studies 🌾 Exploration of co-benefits like improved soil health, higher crop yields, and reduced nitrous oxide emissions 🤝 Collaborations with top universities, including Yale University, University of Guelph, and University of Washington These insights are critical to understanding how ERW can deliver scalable climate solutions and inform global deployment strategies. #CarbonRemoval #EnhancedRockWeathering #ClimateScience #SoilHealth #SustainableFarming

🌍 Building the future, one step at a time. As we begin 2025, UNDO is doubling down on our commitment to scale durable carbon removal solutions and enrich communities through innovative science. From expanding our Canadian operations to publishing open data, we're dedicated to pushing forward—even when the path is sometimes far from smooth. 📊 This January, our CEO and founder, Jim Mann reflects on the journey ahead and the critical steps we’re taking to create a liveable planet for future generations. Read our newsletter to catch up on the latest updates, including winter fieldwork challenges, scientific milestones, and what’s next for enhanced rock weathering. #CarbonRemoval #EnhancedRockWeathering #ClimateAction #UNDO #Sustainability

As businesses work towards achieving net zero emissions, it’s important to understand the roles of carbon offsetting and insetting. While both aim to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, they take different approaches and offer unique benefits.  🌱 Carbon Offsetting helps companies act by compensating for emissions outside their value chain. Through verified projects like reforestation or renewable energy, companies can balance emissions while planning longer-term sustainability efforts. 🔄 Carbon Insetting, on the other hand, works within a company’s value chain, embedding sustainability into operations. This approach delivers lasting environmental benefits and strengthens business resilience by addressing emissions directly. Some of the most effective climate strategies combine both offsetting for direct action with insetting for long-term impact. Together, these approaches allow businesses to reduce emissions, meet climate goals, and contribute to environmental and social progress.

Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is a science-backed approach that combines climate action with soil health benefits. Recent trials, including those highlighted in Scientific American, show how finely crushed silicate rock can transform agricultural practices. It’s wonderful to see Kirstine Skov, UNDO’s Research Lead, mentioned, touching on her peer-reviewed agronomy trials with Newcastle University (more on this in the link below). A huge thank you to Douglas Fox and the Scientific American team for featuring this exciting work, and to David J Beerling from the The University of Sheffield and Noah Planavsky from Yale University for their incredible contributions to advancing ERW research.  Here are some of the real-world benefits for farmers and the climate highlighted in the article: 🌾 Higher yields → Trials in Illinois saw crop yields rise by 12–16% for corn and soy →  UNDO’s UK trials found oat yields increased by 9–20% 🪨 Improved soil health → Reduced soil acidity improves nutrient absorption (e.g., phosphorus) → Vital minerals like calcium and magnesium are released, reducing reliance on synthetic fertilisers. 💨 Climate impact → Potential to remove billions of tonnes of CO₂ from the air every year → Runoff supports ocean health by reducing acidification Nature-based solutions like ERW are paving the way for a future where agriculture tackles emissions while enriching the soils we all depend on. 📖 Click the link below to read the full article.
