About Eric Kim
Eric Kim is a laboratory technician who applies scientific knowledge to combat climate change by developing and planting genetically enhanced trees across various states in the U.S.
Eric Kim Laboratory Technician
Eric Kim is a Laboratory Technician who has made significant contributions to ecological restoration efforts. His work focuses on applying scientific principles to address climate change. Kim is actively involved in planting trees across various states such as Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Ohio.
Eric Kim and Climate Change
Eric Kim applies scientific knowledge to combat climate change by participating in and leading initiatives aimed at reforestation and carbon sequestration. To date, he has planted over 170,000 trees, including photosynthesis-enhanced poplars. These efforts contribute to significant carbon capture and increased biomass.
Eric Kim Reforestation Projects
Eric Kim works with private landowners to reforest underperforming land, including areas like abandoned mine lands. His reforestation projects often involve planting mixed stand forests with fast-growing and native tree species to prevent the encroachment of invasive species.
Eric Kim Tree Biotechnology
In his role, Eric Kim is involved in developing tree species that exhibit characteristics such as slow decomposition and high carbon storage. He uses photosynthesis enhancement technology, which can be transferred across various species, and engineers trees for metal accumulation to clean toxic soils.
Eric Kim Carbon Credits
Eric Kim's work also includes the commercialization of his projects. For the trees planted in 2023 projects through 2024, pre-purchases of credits were sold based on the carbon they are projected to capture. This initiative supports the financial sustainability of reforestation efforts.
