    $\begingroup$ -1 for lack of research. Trivial Google searches reveal techniques that can acceleate peat renewal from centuries to 20-35 years. Let's call "centuries" 200 years. That's about 6X faster. Humans are already doing this. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 18, 2025 at 23:37

    $\begingroup$ @JBH citation required. Google searches i did revealed that the 1year mm regen rate at present was considered too low to be considered 'properly renewable'. As in title, i need something even faster than current 2025 technological capabilities but still scientifically plausible $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 18, 2025 at 23:54

    $\begingroup$ Citation. And your request is ridiculously unrealistic. Anyone who could give you the answer you want would submit it to win an environmental excellence award and a patent rather than posting it here. And it's your fault, my friend, for not clearly setting an expectation for what you want - which is apparently something markedly better than 2025 capabilities, which is fiction. Per the help center, we help people build imaginary worlds. We do not help people build the Real World. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 19, 2025 at 22:00
  • $\begingroup$ @JBH But: most peatland revitalisation fails for the peatland was fully destroyed to a point it can no longer be returned to its former state, or only in a lesser, reduced state. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 20, 2025 at 14:21
  • $\begingroup$ @Trish And? How does that relate to the OP's question? Heaven forbid we ask for a definition of the word "renew." $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 20, 2025 at 18:20
