Carbon Par

Using data from own research to quickly and credibly measure land carbon for golf course owners worldwide.

[Carbon Par @CarbonPar]

Golf course turf can store carbon. On the other hand, wetland drainage emits GHG. Therefore, golf courses can be either carbon positive or negative. Iceland is the first nation aiming to estimate the carbon status of land used by all its golf courses. #CarbonPar #ClimateAction

Happy New Year to all and 55th anniversary to Golfklúbbur Hornafjarðar (Hornafjordur GC), a participant in our original Carbon Par research into carbon stocks, sequestration and land use emissions on all 60 golf courses in Iceland. The club was established on New Year’s Day 1970.

We were deeply honored to be invited to the presidential residence at Bessastaðir yesterday, to meet the President of Iceland, Guðni Th. Jóhannesson, to discuss how Iceland leads climate action in golf through our study of land carbon flows and stocks in all of its sixty courses.

Naming #CarbonPar, led by @EdwinRoald, among golf's climate solutions going forward, Syngenta Golf explains how "golf courses and managed turfgrass areas could have one hugely important environmental benefit to outweigh all other costs: carbon sequestration."

Like our consumption, land use can emit #CO2. But land, including turf, can also store #carbon. #CarbonPar is assessing the carbon status of land used by all of Iceland’s 62 golf courses, including Hornafjörður GC in Höfn. This is the short par-3 5th. Photo by @gsigolf.
