Greenhouse gases research
Measuring and modelling greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agricultural systems
Efficient nutrient and livestock management is key to meeting the challenges of reducing GHG emissions. ADAS experts have extensive experience in measuring and modelling greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, such as nitrous oxide, methane and carbon dioxide, from agricultural systems. We have an established track record of carrying out government- and industry-funded field research, quantifying GHG emissions across agricultural systems.
Our unique blend of soil science, livestock management and modelling expertise means we can offer evidence-based advice to interpret emission factors. We can also support with developing emission inventories and mitigation to minimise agriculture’s carbon footprint.
Our GHG expertise
- maximising nitrogen use efficiency in crop production systems
- maximising production efficiency to minimise methane and nitrous oxide emissions from livestock systems
- measuring greenhouse gases (nitrous oxide, methane and carbon dioxide emissions) from field experiments
- gas chromatography analysis techniques for measuring nitrous oxide, methane and carbon dioxide concentrations
- use of nitrification inhibitors to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from applications of manufactured nitrogen fertiliser and organic materials
- modelling and data interpretation for inventory development.
