How peatlands remove
CO₂ & store carbon

Pocosin peatlands are powerful carbon sinks, quietly pulling carbon dioxide out of the air and storing it as organic carbon in the peat soil.

Their unique, waterlogged environments turn plant litter into long-term carbon removal.

The power of rewetting peat

Peat formation traps CO₂

In pocosins, plants grow and die, but slow decay means carbon from plants becomes locked in the peat, not released back as CO₂.

Water slows decomposition

The soggy, acidic soil prevents bacteria from breaking down plant material quickly, preserving buried carbon for centuries.

Degraded Peatlands

  • 10% of total peatlands worldwide, with a further 500,000 hectares destroyed each year

  • Emit nearly 3 GT of CO2e emissions per year (~5% of all anthropogenic GHG emissions) without any social or economic utility

  • Negate the carbon sequestration of all nature-based solutions globally, causing a negative net carbon sequestration for the biosphere

Restored Peatlands

  • Immediately halt ongoing carbon emissions and convert degraded peatlands back into long-term, effectively permanent carbon sinks

  • Rebuild resilient ecosystems that support biodiversity, from large mammals to unique plant species

  • Reduce fire risk and protect water resources by keeping soils saturated, filtering water, and slowing saltwater intrusion in coastal areas
