Improved construction of roads and pipelines to minimize impact on peatland greenhouse gas emissions
Protecting Nature’s Largest Carbon Store Peatlands are a type of wetland critical for preventing and mitigating the effects of climate change, as they are the largest natural terrestrial carbon store, storing more carbon than all other vegetation types in the world combined. They are also a significant natural source of methane because microbes in peatlands

Biological Plant Inoculants to Increase Carbon Sequestration in Alberta’s Agriculture and Forestry Sectors
Using Fungi to Increase Carbon Capture from Trees Funded through Round 9: Biological GHG Management in 2015, the Mikro-Tek ERA project tested the use of fungi to enhance plant growth and carbon sequestration in Alberta’s forestry and agricultural sectors. While the technology showed limited impact in agriculture, it significantly improved tree survival and biomass in
