Wood Vaulting Emerges as Promising Climate Solution with Potential to Remove Billions of Tons of CO2 Annually
Researchers suggest wood vaulting could remove 12 billion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere annually. Several startups have already begun implementing this low-tech approach to carbon sequestration through biomass burial projects across the United States.
Simple Climate Solution Gains Scientific Backing
Wood vaulting, a surprisingly straightforward approach to carbon sequestration, could potentially remove 12 billion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere every year, according to a recent study published in Nature Geoscience. The technique involves collecting and burying woody biomass to prevent decomposition, effectively diverting carbon from the fast-paced biological cycle into the much slower geological carbon cycle.
