Detail
The consortium of which Rothamsted is a partner, delivers annual inventories and projections of emissions from agriculture sources, including greenhouse gases (GHGs: CO2, CH4, N2O) and air quality pollutants (AQPs: NH3, NOx, NMVOCs, PM2.5, PM10 and TSP) to fulfil the UK’s national reporting requirements under international agreements: UNFCCC, Paris Agreement Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF), UNECE and CLRTAP. The project involves the delivery of historical emissions, agricultural GHG and AQP emissions projections, including policy scenario analysis, quality control and quality assurance processes and data management.
