The C-SINK Research Seminar series continued with an in-depth exploration of artificial soils as an emerging carbon dioxide removal (CDR) solution. This session examined how artificial soils are designed, their applications, and their potential to capture and store CO₂. We also delved into ongoing research within the C-SINK project, including field trials testing this innovative approach.
Beyond the technical aspects of artificial soils, we discussed their broader implications for climate mitigation, addressing key challenges and opportunities in scaling up this technology. The session concluded with key insights and an open discussion on the role of engineered soils in the future of CDR.

- Verónica Asensio, Scientific Director at Edafotec – Nature Based Solutions (speaker)
- Dr. José Luis R. Gallego, Full Professor, University of Oviedo (discussant)
- Navraj Singh Ghaleigh, Senior Lecturer in Climate Law at the University of Edinburgh (moderator)
