Story summary

Israeli researchers advance carbon capture by speeding up weathering, flushing seawater and CO2 through rock.
The late Eyal Wargaft started the project, now led by Yonaton Goldsmith and Noga Moran.
Their findings show dolomite absorbs CO2 more than limestone, with limestone capturing 10–15% and dolomite 20–30%.
Goldsmith notes Israel’s lack of a carbon tax makes removal uneconomical for industries.
