Use of Terra Preta for Carbon Sequestration
The potential of Terra Preta, the black land of the Amazons, as a carbon sequestration tool was
highlighted in a recent Nature article (Nature 442, p. 624-626, 10 August 2006). Johannes Lehmann and
John Gaunt of Cornell University and their colleagues who study Terra Preta, presented their work at the
July World Congress of Soil Science in Philadelphia, PA. Johannes Lehmann estimates that by the end
of this century Terra Preta schemes, in combination with biofuel programs, could store up to 9.5 billion
tons of carbon a year-- more than is emitted by all of today's fossil-fuel use.
