Carbon Connects
Main research questionPeat soils contain large carbon stocks. Drainage of soils for agricultural use causes large CO2-emissions. The conservation of carbon in peat soils is important for climate change mitigation.

EMBRC-BE and ILVO organize a Symposium on Marine Carbon Sequestration to assess the opportunities of oceans, seas and estuaries in reducing the causes and consequences of climate change, globally and locally.
Carbon Connects and CANAPE final conference
Carbon Connects and CANAPE final conference
The EU projects CARBON CONNECTS and CANAPE share the commitment to sustainably re-wetting and restoring peatlands.
Climate neutral enterprises through carbon storage in agroforestry
The concrete question is how much C-storage can be realized through agroforestry, what the drawbacks are, and the pratical arrangements required for the marketing.Research approachThe potential C sequestration of East-Flemish farms will be estimated through literature study, field measurements and simulations using CARAT (CARbon Agroforestry Tool).

Soil organic carbon sequestration potential of agricultural soils in Europe
Carbon sequestration in soils is a negative emission technology that contributes to climate change mitigation. The aim of CarboSeq is to estimate the feasible soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration potential of different management options considering technical and economic constraints in the different regions and countries in Europe.

Enabling Carbon Farming in Flanders by establishing a geospatial information system
Main research questionCarbon farming can contribute to climate change mitigation while increasing the resilience of soils. The principle is to create so-called negative emissions by sequestering carbon maximally and for a long time period in the soil and in woody biomass.

A system analysis of carbon farming schemes in support of the wider implementation of carbon farming in Flanders (Belgium)
A system analysis of carbon farming schemes in support of the wider implementation of carbon farming in Flanders (Belgium)
In the LIFE CarbonCounts project (LIFE20 PRE/BE/019), we explored carbon farming schemes that have the potential to be feasible, reliable and cost efficient for Flanders, the northern region of Belgium.
A roadmap for upscaling carbon farming in Flanders
A roadmap for upscaling carbon farming in Flanders
This roadmap is an end product of the LIFE CarbonCounts project, in which ILVO together with the Department of Agriculture & Fisheries has been setting the tone for scaling up effective and viable carbon farming in Flanders since September 2021.
