In eastern Ontario, farmers are participating in enhanced rock weathering projects to improve soil health and remove CO₂. Canadian Wollastonite supplies wollastonite at no cost, benefiting both crop yields and local economies.

A recent XPRIZE competition demonstrated the efficacy of this method, removing 1,209 tonnes of CO₂ from 102 farms. The initiative aligns with local agricultural practices, as it supports long-term nutrient management and reinforces rural economies. Polling indicates 64% of Canadians support carbon removal, emphasizing the importance of community benefits and transparent measurement in project design.
