Program F:

Non-CO₂ Greenhouse Gases

This program and its accompanying education project (E3) are under development and are based on a successful proposal for supplementary funding from the CRC Program.

The aim of the program is to ensure that measurement accounting for non-CO₂ greenhouse gas emissions is based on sound science and coincident with sustainable agricultural practices. This will inform the development of sustainable agricultural practices to minimise greenhouse gas emissions.

Thus the CRC will provide:

• key inputs to enable on-farm management of non-CO₂ greenhouse gas sources to be based on sound science
• strategic research outputs to support the further development of non-CO₂ emissions accounting within the National Carbon Accounting System and other environmental management models.
