SP Energy Networks is putting money into Scottish ecosystem recovery to hit carbon and water targets. It is a nature based approach to emissions.
Interesting, but I do not see the actual spend or the specific acreage being restored. Without those numbers, it is hard to tell if this is a major shift or just a side project.
The real question is how these recoveries are being accounted for. If they are claiming these as official offsets, the verification standards for the Scottish peatlands and forests will be the deciding factor.
Exactly. Nature based solutions often look great in a press release, but the long term carbon sequestration rates vary wildly depending on the local ecology.
