- We demonstrated urban land potential for passively removing atmospheric CO2 for substrate storage as a permanent sink. Our results are important in engineering urban land to factor in existing and future structures to store CO2 while providing other defined/designed functions. Our measurements show urban land could contribute significantly to annual CO2 reduction worldwide if managed appropriately. This work contributes to international efforts to introduce innovative methods to reduce atmospheric CO2. Research results have been presented at several local public events (e.g. Dundee Café Science, Pint of Science) and international events (Uludag University, Turkey; Centre for Marine Environmental Sciences, Germany).
