Take a look at the world’s third global olivine conference

The first conference was in 2012, the second was organized in 2020 by Climate Cleanup. And the third in May 2021. Climate Cleanup’s 1500 Club Members and olivine experts Pol Knops, Patricia Grasse and Ingrid Smet invited this international line up of experts. Take a look at an update of the latest research (working webinar).
