Microbial Carbon Sequestration — An IRCCM Research Project

Soil Erosion Reduction by Implementing a Carbon Sequestration Project in East of Iran

In this research, the impact of a carbon sequestration project, in the Hossein Abad Plain in Southern Khorasan Province of Iran, on the status of water and wind erosion was evaluated. The study area has a harsh climatic condition with low annual precipitation and is prone to well-known 120-day winds in summer. Since 2005, various soil conservation treatments (plantations, over-sowing, plantatio...

Investigating the effects of carbon sequestration project on livability of rural settlement

The carbon sequestration project has sought to increase the empowerment and livelihoods of indigenous peoples with the goal of mobilizing people and involving local communities in the conservation, restoration and exploitation of the principles of natural resources. Therefore, rural livelihood index is one of the most important and important factors used in measuring and evaluating the living c...

Carbon Dioxide Sequestration in Wastes: The SAPICO2 Project

The SAPICO2 project is an INTERREG IVA cross channel collaboration established to develop new technologies utilising accelerated carbonation for the creation of eco-construction materials from solid wastes. Over three phases, the project has identified carbon dioxide reactivity of solid wastes, produced prototype-construction materials (from these wastes), and manufactured bulk samples of carbo...

HORIZONS Biological or microbial carbon pump? The role of phytoplankton stoichiometry in ocean carbon sequestration

Once fixed by photosynthesis carbon becomes part of the marine food web. The fate of this carbon has two possible outcomes, it may be respired and released back to the ocean and potentially to the atmosphere as CO2 or retained in the ocean interior and/or marine sediments for extended time scales. The most important biologically mediated processes responsible for long-term carbon storage in the...
