A NEW study involving researchers at University of Limerick has demonstrated the vital role that the planting of new commercial forests could play in the fight against climate change.
A major finding of the new research is that future deployment of carbon capture and storage technology transforms wood bioenergy into a ‘negative emission technology’ capable of removing CO2 from the atmosphere long-term.
The study, involving researchers at UL’s Bernal Institute, Bangor University, Wales and scientists in British Columbia, Canada, has been published in the journal Nature Communications.
