About
Basic Dust is a US-based enhanced weathering project developer that deploys alkaline rock dust on water and farmland to permanently remove CO2 as bicarbonates. The company partners with farmers, tribal shellfish operators, and water administrators as co-owners of projects. It operates as a pure-play CDR supplier, though with limited public footprint and no registry deliveries found.
