The UK government has been giving us signs of starting numerous efforts to fight off CO2 emission, as a part of the government's legislated net-zero climate target.

Finally, the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has announced its £30 million investment plan to achieve the net-zero climate target. The UKRI will divide the entire sum into five separate interdisciplinary projects and a central hub at the University of Oxford.

Also, the UKRI will pour in an additional £1.5 million investment for further research purposes. The officials have announced that the research effort will span over 4.5 years.

A few of the activities include — re-wetting and replanting degraded peatlands in West Wales and the Pennines, testing CO2 absorbing rock chips in Devon, Hertfordshire, and mid-Wales. Furthermore, there is a plan to plant biochar in a sewage disposal site.

Finally, the research effort will determine the best ways to capture carbon, using trees, such as Willow and miscanthus grass.  

According to a report in The Guardian, the UK needs to remove about 100 million tons of CO2 per year by 2050 to reach its target of net-zero climate.

This is perhaps the biggest initiative by any government in the world trying to fight off greenhouse gas emissions.
