Our Work
MATI made the first delivery of rock weathering carbon removal from the Global South, in January 2024.
MATI raises farmer incomes by removing carbon. Today, MATI works in seven countries to spread natural rock dust on the fields of farmers. This raises crop yields, corrects soil acidity, releases nutrients, and delivers durable carbon removal through the process of enhanced rock weathering.
We are proving that high-integrity carbon removal can be built from the soil up.
