Exploring mitigation strategies for reaching the 2°C target
Research from the EU ADAM (Adaptation and Mitigation Strategies)1, project funded under the Sixth Framework Programme, has explored whether and how we can prevent global temperatures from rising by more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels. It suggests that carbon capture and storage (CCS) and bioenergy are highly important technologies if we are to meet this target. The EU has embraced the 2°C ...

Could farming become an absorber of carbon?
At present, farming, agriculture and other land practices contribute around 11 gigatons to carbon dioxide emissions every single year, which is roughly one quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. However, a recent study from the University of Virginia in the USA has argued that the land could actually be converted into an absorber of carbon, given the right conditions. Among the ...
