Trials to suck carbon dioxide from the air to start across the UK

A major ?30m project will test trees, peat, rock chips, and charcoal as ways of removing climate-heating emissionsClimate-heating carbon dioxide will be sucked from the air using trees, peat, rock chips, and charcoal in major new trials across the UK.Scientists said the past failure to rapidly cut emissions means some CO2 will need to be removed from the atmosphere to reach net zero by 2050 and halt the climate crisis. The ?30m government-funded project will test ways to do this effectively and affordably on over 100 hectares (247 acres) of land, making it one of the biggest trials in the world. Continue reading...
