Major project launched to restore the moors
An area of 200 hectares and a potential saving of 3,400 tonnes of CO2: this is the ambitious goal of the MooReturn project, which was launched in the Mecklenburg Lake District in January. This is to be achieved through the large-scale rewetting of moorland, the cultivation of paludiculture and the material and energy utilisation and marketing of the raw materials grown here. The project is being managed by the German Biomass Research Centre (DBFZ) and scientifically supported by the universities of Bonn, Greifswald and Rostock.
