Three adjustments to the Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Inventory were presented at the inaugural meeting of the Agricultural Inventory Advisory Panel:
- calculating dairy emissions using regional data rather than national averages
- changing how the uncertainty for enteric fermentation is calculated
- adopting a country specific value of 0.1 for FracGASM and FracGASF (nitrous oxide emissions).
All changes were approved and were incorporated into the Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Inventory for the 2010 submission.
