Nuclear and BIO-CCS hold energy and environment answers
Description
Australia's degraded soils could hold the key to solving Australia's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions problems, according to John White. Increasing soil carbon is one of the few proven, large-scale possibilities - and arguably the best and most sustainable way - to remove existing atmospheric CO2 in the short-term and, at the same time, make soils more fertile and drought and salinity-resistant, providing enhanced food security and quality.
