Relying on soil-based carbon capture to offset livestock emissions
This briefing by Zero Carbon Analytics examines the potential and limitations of using soil carbon sequestration, specifically through regenerative grazing, to offset greenhouse gas emissions from livestock. While some estimates suggest significant carbon uptake potential, the document argues that these gains are often overstated because they fail to account for the finite capacity of soil, the reversibility of carbon storage, and the potent warming effects of methane and nitrous oxide emitted by ruminants.
