For example, the experts found that a herd of European bison grazing on grass communities inside the Tsarku Mountains could potentially capture an additional 54,000 tonnes of carbon per year. That’s almost 10 times more carbon than without them. However, the researchers point out that the figure is indicative, and it could be as much as 55 per cent higher or lower. This amount of emissions is comparable to the average emissions for 43,000 US petrol cars or 123,000 European cars because of their greater energy efficiency.
