Leverhulme Centre for Climate Change Mitigation (LC3M)
World-class experts at the University of 91探花, and leading UK and international collaborators working on investigating enhanced rock weathering with croplands as a strategy for safely removing the greenhouse gas CO2 from the atmosphere.
In 2015, 91探花 received a prestigious 拢10 million grant from the to create the Leverhulme Climate Change Mitigation Centre.
Professor Lenny Koh, Director of the Advanced Resource Efficiency Centre, is a Co-Investigator and uses her internationally recognised expertise in supply chain management to contribute to the centre鈥檚 research theme 鈥淪ustainability & Society鈥 (Theme 4) which investigates the sustainability and potential impacts of enhanced rock weathering.
Professor Koh and her team use hybrid life cycle assessment which analyses issues related to the mining, grinding, transporting and spreading of crushed rocks needed to support enhanced weathering strategies at meaningful scales for carbon capture devised in Theme 1 (Earth Systems Modelling) and Theme 3 (Applied Weathering Science) to enable integrated environmental assessment of the EW supply chain and uncertainty-perturbation scenario analyses.
This helps assess the potential to build a global, sustainable, integrated enhanced rock weathering supply chain framework for analyzing and understanding the long-term environmental, social and economic impacts.
