Teesside University study finds recycled clay could hold the answer to reducing CO2 emissions

THE North East could significantly reduce CO2 emissions by spreading blended clay on agricultural land, according to Teesside University scientists who are partnering with Scott Bros as part of a groundbreaking carbon sequestration study.

Writing in the ‘Journal of Cleaner Production’, the academics from the University’s School of Science, Engineering & Digital Technologies have calculated that applying a silicate clay-rich waste (SCRW) at a rate of 11.2 tonnes/ha could remove and store around 1.6 million tonnes of harmful carbon dioxide emissions from the atmosphere each year.

The research with Scott Bros is being conducted by doctoral researcher Mardin Abdalqadir under the supervision of Dr Sina Rezaei Gomari, associate professor of research in energy and environmental engineering.

The pair have written the paper, 'Process-based life cycle assessment of waste clay for mineral carbonation and enhanced weathering: A case study for north-east England, UK ', together with Professor David Hughes and Ahmed Sidiq from Teesside University, and Feysal Shifa from Scott Bros.
