Burying Forest Waste Could Slow Heating of Planet, Study Finds

Burying forest waste could slow heating of planet, study finds

(The Hill) -- The world’s sawmills and plantation forests offer a powerful weapon against climate change, a new study has found. A paper published Wednesday in science journal Nature Geosciences found that burying the vast quantities of wood waste produced in the course of logging and processing trees could markedly slow Earth’s heating. Heat waves like the one currently afflicting the East Coast in the U.S. have been made far more likely by cen…

Low-cost carbon capture? Bury wood debris in managed forests

Taking carbon out of the atmosphere is essential for slowing global warming-and a team of Cornell University researchers has estimated "huge" potential for carbon capture using a method that is low-tech, sustainable and relatively simple: burying wood, especially the debris from managed forests.

Enhanced Rock Weathering: Rock on: how crushed stone could help fight climate change

A new climate solution called Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) is being trialled on farms worldwide to capture carbon dioxide by accelerating a natural process – drawing growing interest from major companies seeking carbon offsets.
