The Problem: There are only 2 existing methods of carbon offsetting in the UK which are regulated by the UK government: 1) tree planting and 2) peatland restoration, both which require large areas of land. For LNER to offset our carbon emissions, we would need to plant over 40 million trees each year. Additionally, between 2030-2050 the cost of carbon offsetting is estimated to increase by 256%, meaning current methods would not be viable, in addition to the scrutiny being placed on companies that claim carbon neutrality through planting trees. LNER have a limited amount of land available of varying size and shape in which to deploy carbon capture technology. We need to investigate new and efficient ways to decrease our carbon footprint through natural carbon capture methods that we can deploy across our varied estate.
