Rock Dust Local is a pioneer in the use of rock dust for climate mitigation. More than a quarter century ago we established the first commercial enterprise in North America dedicated to the local sourcing and regional supply of the natural geologic materials suitable for Soil Remineralization and Enhanced Rock Weathering including the Basalt and other Alkaline Silicates. We have the largest catalog of economic supplies of these resources of any company covering the widest geographic area backed by a proven track record spanning decades for their reliable deployment.
Our experience furnishing these natural rock dust materials on land in agronomic, horticultural and forestry settings is well known within the regenerative agriculture and eco-farming movement as well as by university scientists conducting leading edge research. Our business is helping growers and land managers succeed and adapt to the ever changing pressures of climate destabilization. We furnish materials to commercial growers while we inform the work of scientific research academics, institutions and commercial entities seeking to establish baseline methodologies for the use of these materials in climate stabilization initiatives at global scale. We can assist those seeking to monetize the practices of Remineralization and Enhanced Rock Weathering on farm, forest or rangeland through participating in the emerging carbon markets for Negative Emissions derived from Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) as well as from soil carbon increase and the holistic benefits of nutrient cycling.
We can offer high volume supply contracts deliverable over the road, rail or maritime to any location globally. Rock Dust Local will tender long term, turn-key service oriented contracts including resource supply, transport, quality control, chain of custody documentation including weights and measures and spreading application services complete with scientific data gathering in the field. For those companies with mining assets seeking to enter the market with their own materials or for those brokering carbon off-sets seeking the advantage of durable supply contracts and expert services for deployment, we can offer knowledge based contracts as well as supply contract fulfillment services. Contact us for more information.

THE CURRENT SCIENCE
Teams of scientists have been working for more than a decade to establish the scientific basis for the use of the natural alkaline silicate minerals as Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) sequestrates when land applied. Below are two of the highest level peer reviewed published manuscripts describing some of the groundbreaking discoveries associated with this scientific effort. Rock Dust Local has supported these projects on the ground by supplying materials and knowhow since 2012. Click on the cover pages below to access the complete publications in pdf form.
