Proyecto LIFE CO2RK

The LIFE CO2RK project seeks to create an operational framework to lead emission offsetting projects in European forests, using cork oak forests as a reference. It aims to quantify and demonstrate the potential of cork oak forests to mitigate climate change, in order to promote cork as a carbon sequestration product. This novel and innovative system could be extrapolated to other forest systems such as beech or chestnut forests, representing a before and after in the valorization of slow-growing beech stands in the European carbon market and the application of carbon forestry.
