Lime emissions and how to reduce them

A quick summary of why lime represents part of my emissions and how I can address it.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
