  • An anticipatory life cycle assessment of the use of biochar from sugarcane residues as a greenhouse gas removal technology 
    Lefebvre, David; Williams, Adrian; Kirk, Guy J. D.; Meersmans, Jeroen; Sohi, Saran; Goglio, Pietro; Smith, Pete (Elsevier, 2021-06-02)
    Greenhouse gas removal technologies are needed to reach the targets of the UNFCCC Paris Agreement. Among existing technologies, the use of biochar is considered promising, particularly biochar derived from the large ...
  • Assessing the carbon capture potential of a reforestation project 
    Lefebvre, David; Williams, Adrian G.; Kirk, Guy J. D.; Burgess, Paul J.; Meersmans, Jeroen; Silman, Miles R.; Román-Dañobeytia, Francisco; Farfan, Jhon; Smith, Pete (Nature Publishing Group, 2021-10-07)
    The number of reforestation projects worldwide is increasing. In many cases funding is obtained through the claimed carbon capture of the trees, presented as immediate and durable, whereas reforested plots need time and ...
  • Assessing the potential of soil carbonation and enhanced weathering through Life Cycle Assessment: a case study for Sao Paulo State, Brazil 
    Lefebvre, David; Goglio, Pietro; Williams, Adrian; Manning, David A. C.; de Azevedo, Antonio Carlos; Bergmann, Magda; Meersmans, Jeroen; Smith, Pete (Elsevier, 2019-06-11)
    Enhanced silicate rock weathering for long-term carbon dioxide sequestration has considerable potential, but depends on the availability of suitable rocks coupled with proximity to suitable locations for field application. ...
  • Carbon implications of converting cropland to bioenergy crops or forest for climate mitigation: a global assessment 
    Albanito, Fabrizio; Beringer, Tim; Corstanje, Ronald; Poulter, Benjamin; Stephenson, Anna; Zawadzka, Joanna; Smith, Pete (Wiley, 2015-02-06)
    The potential for climate change mitigation by bioenergy crops and terrestrial carbon sinks has been the object of intensive research in the past decade. There has been much debate about whether energy crops used to offset ...
  • Characterising the biophysical, economic and social impacts of soil carbon sequestration as a greenhouse gas removal technology 
    Sykes, Alasdair J.; Macleod, Michael; Eory, Vera; Rees, Robert M.; Payen, Florian; Myrgiotis, Vasilis; Williams, Mathew; Sohi, Saran; Hillier, Jon; Moran, Dominic; Manning, David A. C.; Goglio, Pietro; Seghetta, Michele; Williams, Adrian; Harris, Jim A.; Dondini, Marta; Walton, Jack; House, Joanna; Smith, Pete (Wiley, 2019-09-18)
    To limit warming to well below 2°C, most scenario projections rely on greenhouse gas removal technologies (GGRTs); one such GGRT uses soil carbon sequestration (SCS) in agricultural land. In addition to their role in ...
  • Modelling the potential for soil carbon sequestration using biochar from sugarcane residues in Brazil 
    Lefebvre, David; Williams, Adrian; Meersmans, Jeroen; Kirk, Guy J. D.; Sohi, Saran; Goglio, Pietro; Smith, Pete (Nature Publishing Group / Nature Research / Springer Nature, 2020-11-10)
    Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) cultivation leaves behind around 20 t ha−1 of biomass residue after harvest and processing. We investigated the potential for sequestering carbon (C) in soil with these residues by ...
  • Sustainable futures over the next decade are rooted in soil science 
    Evans, Daniel L.; Janes-Bassett, Victoria; Borrelli, Pasquale; Chenu, Claire; Ferreira, Carla S. S.; Griffiths, Robert I.; Kalantari, Zahra; Keesstra, Saskia; Lal, Rattan; Panagos, Panos; Robinson, David A.; Seifollahi-Aghmiuni, Samaneh; Smith, Pete; Steenhuis, Tammo S.; Thomas, Amy; Visser, Saskia M. (Wiley, 2021-07-13)
    The importance of soils to society has gained increasing recognition over the past decade, with the potential to contribute to most of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With unprecedented and growing ...
