🚜 Farmers are at the heart of everything we do 🌱 Last week, we had the incredible opportunity to connect with farmers, landowners, and industry experts at the Ottawa Valley Farm Show - one of Eastern Ontario’s biggest agricultural events. From conversations about soil health and sustainable farming practices to discussing how wollastonite can support stronger, more resilient crops, it was amazing to speak with farmers who are leading the way in innovation and conservation. 💡 What we heard from farmers: ✅ A growing interest in wollastonite as a long-lasting, natural alternative to lime ✅ A focus on improving soil structure and nutrient availability for better yields ✅ Questions about how carbon sequestration can help unlock more opportunities for farms It was great to discuss how natural soil amendments like wollastonite might fit into existing farm practices and hear firsthand how farmers approach soil and crop health. A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, we’re excited about what’s ahead!

🇨🇦 Helping Canadian Farmers Access Sustainable Soil Solutions 🇨🇦 Farmers face ongoing challenges in maintaining soil health while managing input costs. To support more sustainable, cost-effective alternatives, the City of Kingston has launched a Wollastonite Trucking Rebate, making it easier for Ontario’s farmers to switch to a long-lasting, locally sourced alternative to lime. In partnership with Canadian Wollastonite, we supply and spread wollastonite free of charge, with farmers simply covering the cost of trucking. With Kingston’s haulage rebate now contributing up to $5 per tonne, this initiative makes it even more accessible for farmers to adopt this science-backed soil amendment. Beyond its role in improving soil pH and crop yields, wollastonite also contributes to carbon removal through enhanced rock weathering, supporting both food security and climate goals. 💡 This initiative demonstrates how local programs can accelerate the adoption of nature-based solutions, delivering benefits for farmers, communities, and the environment. #CanadaAgriculture #Kingston #SustainableFarming #ClimateSolutions #SoilHealth #EnhancedRockWeathering #CarbonRemoval #CarbonRemovalCanada

We’re thrilled to share that our Director of Science and Research, Dr XinRan Liu, has been named an Honorary Fellow at The University of Edinburgh. This well-deserved recognition highlights his expertise, dedication to scientific advancement, and ongoing contributions to the field. At UNDO, XinRan leads groundbreaking research into enhanced rock weathering, pushing the boundaries of carbon removal science. His appointment strengthens the bridge between academia and industry - something we see as crucial for scaling durable, high-integrity carbon removal solutions. Join us in congratulating XinRan on this achievement! 👏 #CarbonRemoval #ScienceLeadership #EnhancedRockWeathering #UNDO

🚀 One step closer to the XPRIZE Carbon Removal grand prize This month, we submitted our final XPRIZE entry, joining 19 other teams in the running for the $50M prize. Out of 1,300 teams from 88 countries, UNDO is proud to be among the finalists, now undergoing rigorous judging to measure our impact. Our challenge? Removing 1,000 net tonnes of CO₂ in the final year of the competition while proving that enhanced rock weathering can scale to megatonnes—and eventually gigatonnes—by 2050. Winners will be announced in April, so cross your fingers! 🤞 Meanwhile, on the ground: 🔬 We’re spotlighting our Sentinel Sites—real-world research hubs where we refine ERW measurement techniques using cutting-edge science. 🌍 Our teams are in the lab and the field across the UK and Canada, analysing soil and water samples to advance carbon removal verification. 🛠️ A new rotary splitter has arrived at our Glensaugh labs, helping process nearly 1,000 soil samples for analysis.

🌳 Not all mines are created equal - Canadian Wollastonite is proof of that. Our partner Canadian Wollastonite operates one of North America's most environmentally considerate mining sites, pioneering a greener way to source minerals for carbon removal. 🌱 Over 15,500 trees have been planted on-site, enhancing biodiversity. 🦆 Wetlands and nesting habitats have significantly boosted local populations of Purple Martins, ducks, and bats. 🐻 Less than 15% of the mine’s 220 hectares will ever be disturbed, leaving most of the land untouched for wildlife, including black bears, to roam freely. ☀️ Plans are underway to power operations through renewable energy, including new solar installations. Together, we’re not just removing carbon, we're actively improving ecosystems, supporting local wildlife, and proving responsible mining can coexist with nature. Check out the video below for a closer look at these wetlands and wildlife habitats in action 🌿🎥 #CarbonRemoval #EnhancedRockWeathering #Biodiversity #SustainableMining #ClimateAction #CanadianWollastonite #Sustainability

🌿 Canada holds enormous potential for carbon removal - and we're proud to play a part in making it happen. Last September, we officially launched our operations in Kingston, Ontario, deepening our partnership with Canadian Wollastonite. Together, we have an ambitious goal of spreading 50,000 tonnes of wollastonite across Ontario's agricultural lands this year, accelerating carbon removal through enhanced rock weathering. Our founder and CEO, Jim Mann, said it best: "Canada is rich in agricultural land and minerals. The potential for Canada to remove millions of tonnes of carbon per year is unmatched." Through partnerships like this, we're not only scaling vital carbon removal solutions but also supporting local economies and communities. Canada is uniquely positioned to lead the way in climate action, and we're excited to play our part. Thanks again to Kingston Economic Development Corporation for capturing and sharing this milestone moment. We're looking forward to working together to achieve Kingston’s ambitious goal of becoming a net-zero community by 2040.

As we approach Carbon Removal Day 2025, hosted by Carbon Removal Canada, we want to hear from you: 💡 What do you think is the biggest barrier to scaling carbon removal in Canada? Jim Mann will be speaking on MRV: Building Trust and Integrity in Carbon Removal at the event on 27th February in Ottawa, diving into how we can strengthen confidence in carbon markets and drive impact. Vote in the poll and share your thoughts in the comments! #CarbonRemoval #MRV #ClimateAction #NetZero #CDR #CarbonMarkets #EnhancedRockWeathering #CDR #Canada

🚨 Join us for Carbon Removal Day 2025! 🚨 On February 27th, our CEO & Founder Jim Mann will speak at Carbon Removal Day 2025 in Ottawa, joining a panel on MRV: Building Trust and Integrity in Carbon Removal, hosted by Carbon Removal Canada. As carbon removal scales, trust and integrity are critical. Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) ensures every tonne of CO₂ removed is accurate, transparent, and verifiable - essential for both voluntary and compliance markets. At UNDO, we’re committed to: ✅ Peer-reviewed agronomy trials validating CO₂ removal and soil health benefits ✅ Transparent digital tracking, ensuring every tonne is traceable to a specific farm ✅ Deep science monitoring sites, delivering robust, high-quality data 🎤 Panelists: Anu Khan – Carbon Removal Standards Initiative Jackie Mercer – Environment and Climate Change Canada J.P. Jepp - Nexus Climate & Energy Strategy Jim Mann - UNDO 📍 Event details: Thursday 27th February 2025 National Arts Centre, Ottawa 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM EST Join us for this vital discussion on building trust, ensuring market integrity, and scaling carbon removal responsibly. #CarbonRemoval #MRV #EnhancedRockWeathering #ClimateAction #CarbonMarkets #NetZero #CDR #CarbonRemovalDay #CarbonRemovalCanada

👩🔬 To celebrate #WomenInSTEM Day, we’re spotlighting Rosalie Tostevin, our Geochemistry Lead, and sharing her most recent blog on how UNDO’s Sentinel Sites, our pioneering research hubs, are pushing the boundaries of enhanced rock weathering (ERW) science. These deep-science plots help us refine new monitoring techniques, track real-world weathering rates, and strengthen the scientific foundation for scaling ERW globally. 🌍 Here’s what sets our Sentinel Sites apart: 📊 Real-time data across solid, aqueous, and gaseous phases 🧪 Advanced techniques like isotopic tracing, pore water analysis, and microbial community studies 🌾 Exploration of co-benefits like improved soil health, higher crop yields, and reduced nitrous oxide emissions 🤝 Collaborations with top universities, including Yale University, University of Guelph, and University of Washington These insights are critical to understanding how ERW can deliver scalable climate solutions and inform global deployment strategies. #CarbonRemoval #EnhancedRockWeathering #ClimateScience #SoilHealth #SustainableFarming
