Rock Stored Carbon Protocol in practice

This summer, we’re excited to present our Rock-Stored Carbon (RSC) Protocol at two major conferences: ERW25 at the University of Antwerp and Goldschmidt in Prague! This will be a great opportunity for us all to share our progress, engage in discussions and ultimately refine the protocol with the broader scientific community. You can read the current draft and share…
