| Abstract | Enhanced rock weathering has emerged as a promising strategy to accelerate carbon dioxide (CO2) removal by promoting the dissolution of silicate minerals and the subsequent carbonation reactions. This review synthesizes the current knowledge on microbial contributions to enhanced rock weathering as a climate mitigation strategy. Microorganisms play pivotal roles in facilitating rock weathering processes through diverse physical, chemical, and biological mechanisms. Recent advancements in microbial ecology reveal insights into the diversity and functionality of microbial communities across different environments and substrates. Bioengineering approaches offer opportunities to optimize microbial activities and metabolic pathways, thereby increasing mineral dissolution rates. Future research directions include integrating omics approaches, advancing experimental techniques, and developing sustainable strategies for large-scale implementation. Harnessing the potential of microbially-driven rock weathering presents promising avenues for mitigating climate change and promoting sustainable development. |
