## Summary

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has awarded a contract for the project titled "Wasted Peat Emissions" in the research services category to the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology. The project aims to provide updated research evidence on net greenhouse gas emissions from soils described as "wasted peat" in England. The contract period extends from 1st May 2020 to 30th September 2023.

This tender opportunity, managed by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, presents a business growth opportunity for firms involved in research services and environmental studies. Companies adept at conducting field measurements and synthesizing scientific data would be well-suited to compete. Interested businesses should pay attention to the key deadlines and the procurement method to establish a competitive advantage in this industry-specific tender process.

### Lot Information

Wasted Peat Emissions

The project will provide updated research evidence on the net greenhouse gas emissions from soils described as "wasted peat" in England, that is to say soils which used to match the definition of peat (an organic soil layer greater than 40cm) but that no longer match this definition because of losses through intensive use. To develop these new emissions factors, the project will mainly fund the acquisition of new field measurements (soil survey and more intensive continuous measurements on a subset of sites, with techniques such as eddy-covariance or eddy accumulation). It will also fund a systematic review of evidences to integrate those results with the other evidence available by the end of the project.
