\n\tTogether with nine partners from Poland, Germany and the Baltic states the LIFE Climate Mitigation project “Peat Restore” was established in 2016. During five years the project aims to rewet degraded peatlands in the partner countries, covering an area of 5,300 hectares to restore the natural function as carbon sinks.<\/p>\n
\n\tSTORING GREENHOUSE GASES
\n\tIn rewetted peatlands, the mineralisation of peat is stopped and due to water saturation, peat can accumulate again. Carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere is fixed and stored in the peat through biological processes for the long term. That’s why conservation and restoration of peatlands must be taken into account in a climate policy with the aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a great extent.<\/p>\n
