Sustainability Solutions for a Better World

Why do Councils need to consider soil and plant health in helping to reduce their carbon emissions?

UK councils manage 300,000 hectares of amenity space not including golf courses and woodlands. These green spaces can act as huge carbon storage sinks and a resource that is currently not exploited.

Better open space management increases the rate at which CO2 is removed from the atmosphere and converted into plant biomass and soil organic matter (SOM). This in turn raises the opportunity for long-term carbon storage in Soil Organic Carbon (SOC), which in its turn increases biomass and enhances soil fertility and improves soil drainage, all of which lower atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations.

Carbon Grasses

Improving soil health can be complimented by growing specialist grasses with the propensity to sequester many times more carbon than conventional amenity grasses through improved rooting structures.

These grasses are also hardy and slow growing and reduce the need for frequent cutting which equates to lower maintenance costs and reduced carbon emissions from maintenance machinery.

Organic Fertilisers and Soil Organic Matter

Green Pigeon are working with several companies in the anaerobic digestion industry. The waste product from the anaerobic digestion process is being dried and prilled to produce a fertiliser containing macro nutrients and high levels of organic matter that is totally recycled and provides a carbon zero alternative to fossil fuel fertilisers.

These materials and products are being utilised as part of the soil health strategy delivered by Green Pigeon.

To Measure is to Manage

You can’t manage what you can’t measure, Green Pigeon offer a full suite of measurement services including soil nutrient status, soil carbon and plant health.

Measuring soil organic carbon prior to improvement schemes and measuring the result after allows councils to use this data for carbon offsetting or even carbon crediting.

Green Pigeon will aim to achieve at least a 30% increase in soil organic carbon within 18 months and at a £80 to £100 per tonne for carbon credits.

Unlike many decarbonisation consultancies who specialise on the built environment, Green Pigeon focuses on the outdoor environment; our expertise encompasses various aspects of environmental management, from decarbonising key maintenance operations, enhancing soil and water management to planning and improving community spaces. We are committed to helping councils achieve their net zero emissions goals through comprehensive carbon assessments, strategic planning, and the implementation of effective reduction and sequestering measures. Our experienced team brings a wealth of knowledge and practical experience to every project, ensuring that we deliver impactful and sustainable results for our clients.
