In 2023, irrefutable numerical evidence has laid bare the grim reality of global warming. The present state of climate change is visibly manifested through catastrophic weather extremes, sounding an urgent call to action. Beyond mere environmental concerns, the ramifications of climate change extend profoundly, posing a serious threat to the health, security, and prosperity of people worldwide.
This year has borne witness to unprecedented high temperatures, setting records for the hottest days ever documented on the planet. This extraordinary occurrence serves as an unmistakable indicator that climate change is encroaching upon uncharted and perilous territory. Confronting this stark reality, climate change emerges as humanity’s most daunting challenge—an urgent race against time demanding immediate and decisive action to avert catastrophic consequences.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres underscores the urgency, declaring, “The situation we are witnessing now is a demonstration that climate change is spiraling out of control. Persistent delays in crucial measures could lead us into a catastrophic situation, as evidenced by the last two temperature records.”
In addressing this pressing issue, Albanian Minerals CEO Sahit Muja affirms, “Climate change stands as one of the world’s most significant crises, yet it is not an irreversible defeat. We still possess an opportunity to effect meaningful positive change and rescue the planet from impending destruction.” Muja’s mission revolves around reversing climate change through innovative, natural approaches that accelerate carbon removal. His proposed method involves utilizing magnesium-based silicates in both land and water, employing enhanced weathering to expedite natural processes.
Muja elaborates, “The enhanced weathering process seeks to hasten the natural chemical weathering of crushed magnesium ore spread across the land. This approach not only sequesters CO2 at a rapid rate but also purifies water and land from heavy metals and pollutants, utilizing hyperaccumulating plants. Furthermore, we are converting CO2 into sugars and vitamins, repurposing polluting heavy metals for use in batteries and facilitating the green energy transition.”
Expanding on the marine aspect, Muja describes how magnesium minerals gradually dissolve in seawater, providing essential minerals to biodiversity, mitigating ocean acidity, and permanently removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by converting it into magnesium carbonates or vitamins. This natural and proven solution is not only cost-effective but also scalable and permanent.
Emphasizing decades of scientific research, Muja stresses that the noble mineral Olivine stands as a premier, eco-friendly building block for a new world. Albanian Minerals, with its extensive reserves of magnesium-based minerals, asserts its capability to capture 100% of all global carbon dioxide, offering a substantial contribution to mitigating climate change.
