Climate-neutral cities 2030 – the next steps for carbon storage

Banner with buildings

The Knowledge platform Climate-neutral cities 2030 – Open Academy continues the quest to bring researchers and Mission cities together to explore the paths forward for climate-neutrality. After focusing on the mobility and transportation sector in spring, we now turn our attention towards the role of carbon storage as a means to support cities to become climate-neutral.

We kick-started November by hosting a workshop that brought researchers from Lund university and SLU Alnarp together with representatives from the cities of Lund, Malmö and Helsingborg as well as other societal organisations to explore the opportunities and challenges of carbon storage in the cities. Some key take-aways are the need of regional collaboration to make more efficient use of local resources while also supporting knowledge exchange, and the need for further knowledge on how to efficiently and sustainably make use of biochar. All the insights from the workshop are now being compiled into a document of recommendations for the next steps for both academia and cities.

The Knowledge platform is coordinated by IIIEE researchers Lena Neij and Sofie Sandin Lompar, who remain truly inspired by the ambitions of researchers and cities alike!
