Lime emissions and how to reduce them
A quick summary of why lime represents part of my emissions and how I can address it.
- Where do Lime emissions come from?
Applying lime to agricultural soils releases carbon dioxide as a result of chemical reactions during the neutralisation of acidity.
- How can I reduce my Lime emissions?
- Apply lime only when soil pH testing indicates a need.
- Explore alternatives like dolomite or blended materials with lower emissions potential.
- Add organic matter to buffer soil pH naturally.
