UK Land Use for Net Zero Research

The UK Government has committed to the ambitious task of achieving ‘net zero’ greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. However, some emissions from farming, aviation and other activities are very difficult to eliminate. So to reach net zero the UK must also directly remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere amounting to the equivalent of 100 million tonnes of carbon dioxide/year.

We are working on a number of funded research projects to help build up the knowledge needed in the UK and beyond to deliver net zero emissions by 2050.
