Download New Zealand Farm Emissions Method: A farm-level approach for estimating biogenic emissions

MPI Technical Paper No: 2024/27

The Ministry for Primary Industries has developed a methodology for estimating agricultural greenhouse gas (‘GHG’) emissions at the farm-level with the intent of standardising emissions calculations across the agricultural sector.

This standardisation, in combination with the methodology’s transparency and scientific integrity, is expected to build market confidence in the sector’s emissions claims at the farm and processor level. A standardised method will also enable innovation by calculation tool and service providers.
