Impacts
Project Information
The Project eliminates atmospheric N₂O using R-Leaf® photocatalytic technology across 1,533ha in the UK and Hungary. In crop farming, N₂O is emitted from fertilizer use and microbial soil processes. The project applies R-Leaf® as a foliar spray to break down N₂O into harmless N₂ and O₂, seamlessly integrating into existing farming operations without disrupting standard practices. The project is expected to mitigate 1,533 - 4,600 tons of CO2-e over one season. By combining scientific monitoring and scalable implementation, it supports climate action and low-carbon farming.

Climate Action
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
Additionality
Level 1 additionality
Baseline additionality. Compared to the baseline scenario the project needs to mitigate climate change. That is the project must implement actions that are additional to what would occur compared to the baseline.
Level 2a additionality
Statutory additionality. The project must implement actions that are beyond requirements stipulated in local legislation or regulations. Projects are statutory additional if their implementation and/or operation is not required by any law, statute, or other regulatory framework, agreements, settlements, or other legally binding mandates requiring implementation and operation or requiring implementation of similar measures that would result in the same mitigations in the host country.
Level 3 additionality
Technology, institutional, common practice additionality. The project must implement actions that are subject to barriers of implementation or accelerate deployment of technology or activities and carbon market incentives are essential in overcoming these barriers.
