Summary

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ’s greenhouse gas research has impacted policy and industry through generation of new country-specific nitrous oxide (N2O) emission factors.  

In terms of policy, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ’s evidence has significantly lowered calculated N2O contributions in the UK’s Agriculture greenhouse gas Inventory and informed changes to guidelines at the international level. In Industry, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ×ÊÁÏ research highlighted that enteric methane represents a greater proportion of the UK’s total Agriculture greenhouse gas Inventory than previously thought and worked with red meat / dairy sectors in Wales to enable co-identification of practical greenhouse gas emission mitigation practices.
