PROJECT RESTORE
We work on sustainability issues on several levels and Project Restore is an initiative in which we participate. The aim of the project is to sequester carbon dioxide over time through carbon storage and rewetting. The two primary parts of the project are to grow reeds that store carbon and rewet drained peatlands to reduce total carbon dioxide emissions.

Drained peatland has almost as great a negative environmental impact as road traffic in Sweden measured in carbon dioxide emissions. Through the Restore project, drained, unused peatlands are restored via rewetting, which reduces the soil's carbon dioxide emissions. As the soil is rewetted, its biodiversity also increases significantly. The project also involves creating long-term carbon stores. This is done through the cultivation of tuberous sedge, a fast-growing perennial grass that binds carbon dioxide. The idea is to take care of the harvest in a long-term cycle that extends the process until the carbon dioxide is released again.
