Tropicarbon's Initiative for Carbon Drawdown in Agriculture

Tropicarbon, co-founded by Ludwig Ritter, Wilson Escobar, and Professor Camilo Montes, is executing projects in Colombia aimed at transforming agriculture into a carbon sink using enhanced weathering. The initiative plans to remove 1 million tons of CO2 by 2030 through techniques that involve spreading rock dust on fields, utilizing the tropical climate, and rich geological resources of Colombia. Current empirical studies in Córdoba and Barranquilla explore the soil’s potential for carbon capture, aiming for improvements in crop yields and reduction in emissions in agricultural practices.
