    Brief

    Devon County Council is seeking a research partner to study how construction activities affect soil carbon levels in the A382 Link Road Development near Newton Abbot. The project, funded through the ADEPT Live Labs 2: Decarbonising Local Roads programme, aims to investigate innovative methods for reducing carbon emissions from highway construction. Specifically, researchers will examine the potential of biochar, enhanced mineral weathering, and mycorrhizal fungi when incorporated into traditional highway earthworks to increase carbon sequestration, improve soil health, and enhance long-term carbon storage in highway verges and landscape areas. This study will support the project's goal of achieving carbon-negative highway development while improving safety, network resilience, and traffic flow. The research budget is £150,000 to £170,000, with detailed cost guidance provided in the full documentation.
