The research will "include carbon stock assessment and monitoring of soil quality and ecosystem health in Malaysia, enabling comparative analysis between the two countries", Petronas said in an online statement. "The Blue Carbon Collective aims to deliver several research objectives including identifying the impact of land use changes, understanding carbon stabilization mechanisms, and developing and applying a soil quality index". "The five-year collaboration is expected to generate vital research data to advance carbon emissions reduction strategies, help conserve mangroves, and create local job and business opportunities", Petronas said. "The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team will support the research activities".
