Potential carbon store losses resulting from windfarm development -
Interesting findings emerged from one local campaigning group who have had peat analysed for its carbon content.
The peat was over 80% moisture, and the remainder had a carbon content of 49%.
What happens to this carbon when the peat is dug up for access roads, turbine bases and foundations?
