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.

Search By Live95 News Team via University of Limerick A new remote learning device has enabled engineering students at the University of Limerick to recreate a lab environment from home.
The technology developed by Analog Devices is allowing over 400 UL students to learn the fundamentals of electrical and electronic engineering from the safety of their home.
The partnership has assisted these students in overcoming the challenges to off-campus teaching and learning presented by the Covid-19 pandemic.
It is one of the first approaches in Europe to build a structured curriculum for fully remote experimental learning.
The digital learning partnership was officially launched at a virtual event hosted by UL’s Bernal Institute this Wednesday, attended by Tánaiste Leo Varadkar, Minster for Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science Simon Harris, UL President
