Summary
Lithos Carbon is a startup focused on large-scale carbon removal through a process known as Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW).

They use proprietary software to optimize the application of basalt, taking into account soil chemistry and crop needs, and they employ advanced measurement techniques to verify the amount of carbon removed.
