…) identified that the Humber four authority land areas have a current established sequestration benefit of 600ktCO2e/yr10, excluding the net emissions from agriculture of around 2,900ktCO2e with a total sequestration potential of 2,000ktCO2e/yr using 21% of the current land available. The trees planted in the current tree planting season are estimated to offer a sequestration benefit of circa…
…, the Committee on Climate Change set out the carbon reduction measures across a set of core and ambitious areas. Core measures include no new homes heated by natural gas from 2025, significant roll out of low carbon power and electric vehicles, increased diversion of waste from landfill, a massive increase in tree planting, the roll out of low carbon heating and carbon capture and storage. Ambitious…
