Expert Panel Documents

Workplan

The current workplan is:

  • Complete new methodologies for fertiliser NH3 emission

  • Discuss crop NH3 emission, NMVOC emissions, soil NOx emissions with the modelling community

  • Complete guidacne on reporting emissions from anaerobic digestion

  • Continue and intensify the collaboration with TFRN (EPMAN/EPNB)

  • Assess need for methodologies for marine NH3 emissions and indirect NO emissions

  • Liaise with IPCC revision of agricultural sector

2023 Meeting held in Oxford, 18 April 2023
