two.1.4) Short description
Land managers regularly face significant decisions on how to best use their land. While much land in Scotland is poor quality in ‘standard’ agricultural terms, we believe it could play a major role in tackling the climate emergency by naturally locking in carbon. We also believe that making better decisions for carbon-capture and storage, will generate significant benefits for biodiversity. However, it’s currently difficult for land managers to make informed decisions on best use of their land for carbon capture and storage because the data that could support these decisions is either inaccessible or sparse, inconsistent, and often out of date. By solving this Challenge, we can enable informed land use decisions, enable regulators to decide what (if any) incentives or regulation are needed in relation to carbon capture, and make a significant contribution to tackling the climate crisis.
So how can we use technology to help land managers make informed land-use decisions and increase carbon capture and storage?
