<h1>Innovative Indian Firm Wins $50M Prize for Groundbreaking Carbon Removal Technology Using Enhanced Rock Weathering Method</h1> An Indian carbon-capture company won a $50 million prize in a global competition funded by a technology foundation. The company uses a method called enhanced rock weathering, spreading crushed basalt rock on farmers' fields to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The competition aimed to encourage innovative carbon-removal technologies, with multiple teams receiving prizes for demonstrating potential large-scale carbon reduction approaches. Scientists view these solutions as complementary to emissions reduction efforts in combating climate change.
