Potential Co-benefits and trade-offs between improved soil management, climate change mitigation and agri-food productivity

by Caroline Kennedy | Feb 8, 2022

Maximising resource-use efficiency, productivity and environmental sustainability are all fundamental requirements to raise global food production by ~70 per cent in order to feed a world population of ~9.7 billion people by 2050. Perhaps the most vital resource...

Establishing a large-scale Greenhouse Gas Removal sector in the United Kingdom by 2030: First mover dilemmas

by Mark | Feb 2, 2022

In June 2019 the UK legislated a 2050 net-zero emissions target. This will require the realisation of a technical Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR) sector potentially generating over 60 MtCO2 pa of negative emissions by 2050. In October 2021, the UK pledged that at least 5...

The meaning of net zero and how to get it right

by Eamonn | Dec 20, 2021

The concept of net-zero carbon emissions has emerged from physical climate science. However, it is operationalized through social, political and economic systems. We identify seven attributes of net zero, which are important to make it a successful framework for...

Opening the black box: Soil microcosm experiments reveal soot black carbon short-term oxidation and influence on soil organic carbon mineralisation

by Caroline Kennedy | Dec 20, 2021

Soils hold three quarters of the total organic carbon (OC) stock in terrestrial ecosystems and yet we fundamentally lack detailed mechanistic understanding of the turnover of major soil OC pools. Black carbon (BC), the product of the incomplete combustion of fossil...

Delaying carbon dioxide removal in the European Union puts climate targets at risk

by Eamonn | Nov 11, 2021

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) will be essential to meet the climate targets, so enabling its deployment at the right time will be decisive. Here, we investigate the still poorly understood implications of delaying CDR actions, focusing on integrating direct air capture...
