Enhanced weathering (EW) is emerging as an exciting new carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technique. Enhanced weathering is scalable now and has a staggering potential to remove gigatonnes of CO2 annually. However, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of CDR with EW – how we measure its effectiveness – is widely viewed as the biggest barrier to scaling of the technique. Robust MRV is crucial to the widespread operationalization of EW. Ultimately, trust in the EW industry depends on these three letters. To bring greater transparency to the topic, InPlanet’s research team has documented the current state of MRV science across industry and academia, focusing on the measurement or quantification of CDR. Matthew Clarkson, Christina Larkin, and Philipp Swoboda, together with leading scientists from across the world, gathered all the knowledge available from existing literature and summarized decades of research into one manuscript that is now publicly accessible. This manuscript is inten
