Material characterisation
Define mineral identity, source, batch, particle size, surface area, neutralisation potential and trace-element profile.

Measure the system before scaling it.
CarbonFitt is preparing an independent research programme to test mineral performance, environmental safeguards, net carbon removal and the evidence needed for credible scale-up.
Research objective
Close the gap between potential and proof.
The programme is designed to determine whether the system works, under which conditions, with what uncertainty and within which safety limits.
Planned work includes laboratory characterisation, controlled weathering experiments, replicated field-relevant testing, lifecycle assessment and an independently reviewable data record. Planned work is not presented as completed validation.
Controlled testing
Use treated and untreated controls to test weathering indicators, detection limits and environmental safeguards.
Field evidence
Run replicated outdoor test cells only after baseline definition, safety review and an agreed sampling plan.
Net-removal accounting
Separate theoretical capacity, modelled removal and measured evidence, then deduct lifecycle emissions.
Minimum evidence
What the research must establish.
A credible outcome requires representative material sampling, untreated controls, replicates, baseline data, defined analytical methods, quality assurance, environmental monitoring and conservative uncertainty treatment.
Nickel, chromium and other relevant trace elements must be screened before field deployment. Dust, pH, drainage chemistry and material handling require explicit safeguards and pause criteria.
