The first official carbon landfill can be created at the Chernogorsky section of SUEK-Khakassia LLC, the productivity improvement project of which is included in the Yeniseiskaya Sibir KIP. The research is conducted under the auspices of the world-class scientific and educational center "Yenisei Siberia".
The dumps of the coal mine gradually turn into a forest area, thereby forming carbon networks that absorb carbon dioxide. Scientists are monitoring how phytomass develops and the air is purified. Experts have been collecting scientific material at the Chernogorsky section for more than two years and are already talking about the positive effect of reclaimed landfills on atmospheric air. For example, elm, aspen, birch, poplar and scots pine show record growth.
"On the dumps of coal mines, trees actively capture carbon dioxide, which means that carbon farms can be created here, which can affect the climate," said Elena Zhukova, associate professor of Biology at N.F. Katanov Khakass State University.
According to experts, the possible creation of a carbon landfill at the Chernogorsky section is an additional effect of a new method of biological reclamation and another evidence of its environmental effectiveness.
"The innovative reclamation method developed by scientists, implemented on the dumps of the Chernogorsky section, allowed the formation of powerful vegetation that helps protect land from erosion and helps to form a full–fledged ecosystem," said Natalia Petrova, environmental engineer of the Chernogorsky SUEK-Khakassia section.
Recall that the activities of the scientific and educational center "Yenisei Siberia" are aimed at improving the environmental situation in Russia and decarbonizing industry. The participants of the REC include 28 scientific and educational organizations and enterprises of the real sector of the economy.
