Can Finland become carbon neutral by 2035? - BBC Newsnight

submitted by saltalberta on 12/26/19 1

Finland has an ambitious target - to be carbon neutral in 15 years, by 2035. Subscribe to our channel here: goo.gl/31Q53F For decades a company called Vapo has harvested peat on an industrial scale. Peat - decayed vegetation which is then dried - is burnt like a fossil fuel. As a power source it's dirtier than coal and, after it's been harvested, drained peat-lands continue to emit greenhouse gasses. So, is Finland doing enough to ensure they achieve carbon neutrality in just 15 years time?
