For those that work in climate, it has been said that ‘what we fight is invisible and what we sell is intangible’.
To build trust and confidence in the quality of our carbon credits, we therefore provide as much scientific evidence as possible. Our engineered carbon removal project in Northumberland adheres to the Oxford Principles and to the ICVCM’s ten core carbon principles, most notably permanence, transparency and additionality.
We work with the best scientific minds within universities in the UK to deliver a high level of scientific rigour. Our science team are among some of Enhanced Rock Weathering’s leading academics ensuring we deliver against the Isometric Protocol. Isometric’s ERW methodology focuses on in situ measurement and ensures we provide the necessary data to assure our buyers we sequester the carbon we say we do.
Rachael is Professor of Geochemistry at the University of Southampton. She’s an expert on monitoring and verification of CDR and is carrying out field trials on enhanced weathering all over the world.
Guy Kirk is Professor of Soil Systems at Cranfield University. His research is concerned with physical, chemical and biological processes in soils; interactions between plants and soil; and how to model soils at scales from the microbial to the continental.
Chris McCloskey holds a 75th Anniversary Research Fellowship at Cranfield University. His research focuses on plant-soil interactions and how they can affect soil carbon storage.
Rob Simmons is an Associate Professor in Sustainable Soil Management at Cranfield University. His research is centred on applied solutions to control runoff and soil erosion across a range of horticultural, polymer-based solutions to promote seeding emergence and stand establishment in high value small seeded horticultural crops. This includes extensive laboratory- and field-based experimental work in collaboration with multiple UK and International research and agri-business partners.
Matt Cooper is a Senior Research Fellow in geochemistry at the University of Southampton, with expertise in the analysis of a wide variety of environmental sample types by ICP-MS and other techniques.
