Warm welcome to Sustainability Science Days 2022 on 18-19 May! We especially welcome to submit abstracts to Session 13. #Carbon drawdown: Reverse-logistics for a carbon economy! Please submit your abstract by 21 Feb!
This session convenes around an urgent necessity of building up effective and acceptable ways of contributing to the removal of atmospheric CO2. The workshop draws from the ideas of sustainability science of turning towards and addressing grand systemic challenges.
Description:
For several centuries, humans have excelled in mobilising fossil fuel reserves and converting them to atmospheric CO2. The current state of climate emergency and the need for deep-reaching societal and metabolic transformations calls for a reversal of this logic: large-scale, effective and even profitable ways of drawing carbon down from the atmosphere. This track invites papers that address all processes, mechanisms, designs and economic models in which carbon in captured through plant biomass and sequestered.
Relevant questions and topic include but are not limited to
-
the cycles of carbon in forests, agricultural land and urban green areas
-
processes of treating streams of organic material to produce biochar and other stable carbon products and compounds
-
transformations of the forest industry to propel carbon drawdown
-
qualities and the use of biochar in different applications
-
economics, business models and regulation of carbon drawdown
-
systemic mapping of potential of and conditions for large-scale carbon drawdown in different geographical context and sectors of human activity
Conveners: Mikko Jalas (Aalto University) & Priit Tammeorg (University of Helsinki)
