Natural carbon sequestration contributes to 22 to 23 tasks at the same time. The market exploration by New Economy maps these against the Dutch National Strategy on Spatial Planning, where natural methods touch 22 to 23 tasks and technological methods only 3 to 6. The breadth shows why nature-based sequestration is so valuable for spatial policy. Carbon sequestration is often seen as a cost or as compensation, leaving its economic value untapped.
A market exploration values natural and technological sequestration and connects it to regional tasks and business models. This is relevant for provinces, municipalities, land managers and organisations in agriculture, nature and climate policy. Source: New Economy (2025).
