CO2PEAT is a research project, funded by the Irish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), focusing on improving methodologies for reporting and verifying terrestrial CO   removals and emissions from Irish peatland ecosystems.

​

CO2PEAT project is working on the development of a research framework that will complement and enhance current approaches in the reporting of CO   emission and removal estimates for peatlands at the national level.

​

The research under the CO2PEAT project focuses on the utilisation of statistical and advanced process-based modelling methods, in combination with the integration of advanced observational data streams, aiming to improve our knowledge of peatland ecosystems and our understanding of how the strength of peatland carbon sink is regulated by various factors at different timescales and climate scenarios.
