Removing CO2 from the atmosphere is a priority for us, but equally important are the benefits that using antigorite serpentinite can bring to agriculture.

Antigorite serpentinite was formed as a result of the metamorphosis of ultramafic-basic rocks (peridotite-gabbro). It has a diverse mineral composition. Its main component is antigorite, which usually constitutes 84-99% of the rock. Many secondary minerals have formed as a result of metamorphic processes. Subordinate components include relics of olivine and pyroxenes, ore minerals, minerals from the serpentine group, opal-chalcedony silica, and magnesite. This rich mineralogy makes serpentinite a rich source of mineral components such as magnesium, iron, boron, manganese, molybdenum, zinc, and copper.

Our research shows that macro- and micronutrients are available immediately after application to the soil. The decomposing rock material reacts with soil microorganisms and plant material, releasing elements. Remineralization with serpentinite meal is a rapid method of aiding soil regeneration by closely mimicking natural geological and biological interactions. The result is optimal and sustainable growth of cultivated plants.
