Google and others paid millions of dollars to remove CO2 from the air by spreading basalt chips across fields

The Frontier Climate Initiative, on behalf of a group of companies including Alphabet, Stripe, Shopify, and other giants, announced a deal worth over $57 million to remove more than 158,000 tons of CO2 from the Earth's atmosphere by 2028. The startup Lithos Carbon will remove carbon dioxide by spreading basalt dust across agricultural lands. This rock is believed to bind CO2 for thousands of years when weathered.
