In this episode of Earthlings 2.0, we sit down with Anastasia Pavlovic Hans, CEO of Eion, to explore enhanced rock weathering (ERW) — an innovative carbon removal technology that leverages minerals to pull CO2 from the atmosphere. Anastasia discusses how ERW integrates seamlessly into agriculture, its long-term effectiveness, and the financial incentives driving farmer adoption. She also shares her journey into climate tech and why collaboration between farmers and technology developers is essential for scaling sustainable solutions.
Key Points:
- Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) as a Climate Solution – ERW uses naturally occurring minerals to permanently sequester CO2, providing a scalable and effective method for carbon removal.
- Farmers as Key Players in Carbon Sequestration – ERW can be easily implemented into existing agricultural practices, offering both environmental benefits and financial incentives through carbon credits.
- Scaling Carbon Removal for a Sustainable Future – With a goal of removing 10 million tons of CO2 annually starting in 2030, Eion is proving that climate tech can align with business needs while driving meaningful environmental impact.
