Transforming Golf Courses into Carbon Sinks

Green Sand Advantage

Our enhanced basalt blend delivers multiple benefits over traditional quartz sand, improving turf quality while capturing carbon.

Optimized Basalt Blend
Our proprietary basalt blend actively captures CO2 while improving soil quality for healthier turf.
Improved Water Retention
Reduce water usage by enhancing soil's ability to retain moisture, creating more resilient turf.
Carbon Credit Generation
Generate high-quality carbon credits that add value to your facility's sustainability efforts.
Seamless Integration
Our solution works with your existing maintenance equipment and procedures.

How Our Technology Works

Integrating Basalt Blends into Routine Turf Maintenance for Seamless Carbon Capture

Enhanced Rock Weathering Process

Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW)

Enhanced Rock Weathering is a natural process that we accelerate to capture CO2 from the atmosphere and lock it away permanently as stable carbonates in the soil.

  • Fastest scale, most co-benefits & permanence at half the cost of Direct Air Capture
  • 1,000+ years of carbon storage durability
  • Improves soil fertility, turf productivity & vitality
1

Basalt Sourcing & Processing

We source high-purity basalt and process it into an optimized blend to maximize its natural reactivity.

2

Soil Analysis & Deployment

Our basalt blend is applied as part of standard topdressing and aeration routines using existing equipment.

3

Ongoing Weathering

Once in the soil, the basalt reacts with water and CO2 to form stable carbonates—locking away carbon dioxide for millennia.

4

Monitoring & Verification

We install monitoring sensors and conduct regular soil tests to verify CO2 uptake and maintain durable carbon credits.

5

Carbon Credit Generation

Verified carbon removal is monetized via high-quality carbon credits, adding a revenue stream that supports sustainability.
