Postdoc research topic
The postdoc research will contribute to the EU H2020 project on NEGEM - NEGative EMissions (https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/869192), addressing the carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere to meet the Paris Agreement targets. NEGEM aims at quantifying the real-world potentials of natural and engineering-based negative emissions technologies and practices under the consideration of selected key sustainability performance indicators. The studies will reveal the large-scale feasibility and implementations challenges within the ecosystem and planetary boundaries. The identified best practices and pathways will form part of an analytical framework subject to governance structures and climate policies. The postdoc research focuses on the terrestrial negative emission potentials concerning global soil carbon sequestration of arable land cover, particularly associated with marginal and vulnerable cultivations. The study will use spatially-explicit data and life cycle assessment approaches. This research is closely linked with the “bio-pump” concept elaborated within the CambioScop project, which focuses on specific biomass types contributing to soil organic carbon enhancement and at the same time produce renewable feedstocks for the bioeconomy.
