Arctic Peatlands Expanding, Presenting a Dual Climate Impact

Arctic peatlands are growing due to warmer weather, storing carbon now but risking future release.

Arctic Peatlands Are Growing Bigger Due to Warmer Weather
New studies show that peatlands in the Arctic are growing larger as the weather gets warmer. These areas store a lot of carbon, which helps slow down climate change for now. But scientists worry that if it gets much warmer, they could release this carbon back into the air.

A depleted oil field will become Europe’s first offshore CO2 storage site.
In a process that almost reverses oil extraction, chemical giant INEOS plans to inject liquefied CO2 deep down into depleted oil reservoirs, 1 800 metres beneath the seabed.
When the project begins commercial operations next year, it is expected to become the EU’s first fully-operational offshore CO2 storage site.

#Hemp cultivation contributes to the European Green Deal objectives
Excerpts:
"Hemp has a number of #Environmental benefits.
- #CarbonStorage: one hectare of hemp sequesters 9 to 15 tonnes of CO2, similar to the amount sequestered by a young forest, but it only takes five months to grow.
- Breaking the cycle of diseases: hemp helps to break the cycle of diseases when used in #CropRotation. In addition, weeds are not able to grow due to the fast growth and shading capacity of hemp plants.
- #SoilErosion prevention: dense leaves of hemp become a natural soil cover, reducing water loss and protecting against soil erosion. Hemp covers the ground just three weeks after germination.
- #Biodiversity: flowering cycle usually occurs between July and September, coinciding with a lack of pollen production from other crops. Hemp produces large amounts of pollen. It also provides shelter for birds and hemp seeds are a food for animals.
- Low or no use of #pesticides: hemp is susceptible to few pests because of the lack of natural predators, which means that the use of #insecticides, #herbicides, and #fungicides can be avoided in most cases."
"Uses of hemp1. Textile industry (#HempFibre)
Hemp fibre is very similar to linen and the interest of the textile industry in using hemp fibre is growing. The European Commission, in its circular economy action plan, considers the textile sector as one of the cornerstones in the transition towards a greener and more sustainable economy and it has encouraged stakeholders to seek new materials and new economic models. To this end, the EU has adopted a strategy for sustainable and circular textiles aiming to create a more sustainable, innovative, circular economic model.
Hemp fibre and textile material
Hemp fibre is a sustainable raw material for the textile industry.2. Food and feed (#HempSeeds)
Hemp seeds contain high levels of protein and considerable amounts of fibres, vitamins, Omega-3, and minerals. As a result, de-hulled hemp seeds serve as a food for human consumption, while whole hemp seeds are used as feed for animals.
3. #Construction (#HempFibre)
There are three main hemp-based products used in construction: #lime hemp concrete (#hempcrete), #HempWool, and fibre-board insulation. The construction sector is responsible for 40% of energy consumption and 36% of GHG emissions, and 75% of that energy goes to waste. This has led to a search for construction practices and materials that are carbon neutral or carbon sequesters. Hempcrete is a carbon sequester as the amount of carbon stored in the material is higher than the emissions generated during its production, and it continues to store carbon during the building’s life. Improving energy efficiency in the building sector will play a key role in achieving carbon-neutrality by 2050, a goal set out in the European Green Deal. Hemp can play a significant role in reaching this objective.
Hempcrete, hemp wool and fibre-board insulation are used in the construction sector due to their energy efficient properties.
4. #Paper production (hemp fibre)
There are multiple advantages to using hemp fibre to make paper: hemp stalks only take up to five months to mature, #HempPaper does not necessarily require toxic bleaching chemicals and hemp paper can be recycled seven to eight times.
Hemp fibre paper is a more sustainable alternative to paper made from wood pulp.
5. Other uses
Hemp-derived products are used in different industries and for different purposes. Negative environmental effects of plastic have pushed manufacturers to seek alternatives. Hemp is a good option given its light weight and durability. As a substitute for plastic, hemp-derived products are used in different sectors such as car manufacturing, railway, aviation and aerospace.
Other uses of hemp include #cosmetics (oils, lotions, shampoos, etc.) and energy production (#biofuels). There is also interest in the production and marketing of hemp extracts, notably cannabidiol (#CBD), due to its possible uses in cosmetics, health products and food. These possible uses are, however, subject to the relevant EU requirements. In November 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union determined that the marketing of legally produced CBD is permitted under EU law."

#Carbonstorage as a way out of the #climatecrisis?
"Our findings make clear that it is a limited tool" so research prof Gidden, UMD's Center for Global #Sustainability.
"If we prolong our dependence on #fossilfuels for too long with the expectation that we will offset that by simply storing carbon underground, we're likely saddling future generations with a nearly impossible task of dealing with not only our mess, but limited ways of cleaning it up,"
