It indicates that a vegetarian diet (with dairy and eggs), a 66 per cent reduction in livestock production consumption, and technologies to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from soils and methane from ruminants, had the potential to reduce direct supply chain emissions by 15 - 20 per cent.

By the energy office's estimates, the island has also reduced nitrous oxide emissions by 41 percent, cut sulfuric oxide emissions by 71 percent, and eliminated more than its share of carbon dioxide emissions. (discovermagazine.com)
Berkeley Lab received these competitive awards from ARPA - E's Rhizosphere Observations Optimizing Terrestrial Sequestration (ROOTS) program, which seeks to develop crops that take carbon out of the atmosphere and store it in soil — enabling a 50 percent increase in carbon deposition depth and accumulation while also reducing nitrous oxide emissions by 50 percent and increasing water productivity by 25 percent.
