    Brief

    Devon County Council is seeking a research partner to study the carbon sequestration and soil health benefits of innovative materials and techniques in highway earthworks for the A382 Link Road Development project near Newton Abbot, Devon. The study will investigate how biochar, enhanced mineral weathering, and mycorrhizal fungi can be incorporated into traditional highway construction to increase carbon storage, improve soil health, and support the project's carbon-negative goals. The A382 project itself aims to improve highway safety, network resilience, and traffic flow while demonstrating innovative approaches to reducing and removing carbon emissions from highway construction. This research opportunity is funded through the ADEPT Live Labs 2: Decarbonising Local Roads programme and offers a budget of £150,000 to £170,000. Suitable suppliers should have expertise in soil science, carbon sequestration, biochar application, or related environmental research disciplines.
