February GWL talk

Thursday 20th February 2025
Evangelos Mouchos will deliver a talk on the current status of Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies in EU and the UK, with particular focus on enhanced weathering of rocks and mine wastes.
Evangelos is Senior Research Geoscientist Scientist with Mine Environment Management Ltd. and Senior Research Associate in the School of Geographical Sciences at the University of Bristol. Evangelos is currently working on the C-SINK and CO2RE UK/EU greenhouse gas removal interdisciplinary research projects. These focus on the Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies, including enhanced rock weathering. The aim of his research is to add new scientific insights to the collective learning and understanding of natural processes and the impacts of anthropogenic activities on Earth, linking geoscience to decision-making on aspects relevant to sustainable resource management and environmental protection.
He is a geologist by background, having over 10 years’ research experience in the mineralogy and geochemistry of critical raw materials and nutrients, with a particular focus on rock-water interactions and mineral precipitation/dissolution controls in natural or anthropogenically intervened systems. His work typically combines field and macroscopic observations with mineralogical and chemical analyses, and is commonly carried out in collaboration with industry, academia and government agencies.
Evangelos holds a PhD in Geography from the University of Bristol, an MSc by research in Geology from the University of Exeter, and a BSc in Geology from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece).
