# Terradot

> Terradot is a San Francisco and Stanford-born climate company turning Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) - one of nature's slowest permanent carbon-removal processes - into a measurable, global-scale climate solution. By spreading finely crushed basalt across tropical farmland, Terradot accelerates the natural reaction in which silicate rock binds atmospheric CO2 and locks it away for thousands of years, while improving soil health for farmers. The company pairs field deployment with rigorous biogeochemical measurement, and has signed landmark carbon-removal agreements with Google, Microsoft and Frontier totaling nearly 300,000 tonnes of CO2.

- **Products:** Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) deployment, Measurement, Reporting & Verification (MRV), Durable carbon credits
- **Notable:** Launched in December 2024 with $58.2M total funding and nearly 300,000 tonnes of carbon-removal agreements, First ERW company to receive direct investment from both Google and Microsoft, Spread nearly 50,000 tonnes of crushed rock across ~2,000 hectares of Brazilian farmland

## Products & services

- **Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) deployment** — Crushing basalt and other silicate rock and spreading it across tropical farmland to accelerate the natural reaction that binds atmospheric CO2 into stable bicarbonate, permanently removing carbon while improving soil fertility.
- **Measurement, Reporting & Verification (MRV)** — Calibrated biogeochemical models, field sampling and ground-truth data used to accurately quantify how much CO2 has been durably sequestered, the hard part of making ERW a creditable climate solution.
- **Durable carbon credits** — High-permanence carbon-removal credits sold to corporate buyers such as Google, Microsoft and Frontier, with removals delivered over the coming decade.

## Achievements

- Launched in December 2024 with $58.2M total funding and nearly 300,000 tonnes of carbon-removal agreements
- First ERW company to receive direct investment from both Google and Microsoft
- Spread nearly 50,000 tonnes of crushed rock across ~2,000 hectares of Brazilian farmland
