Accurate quantification of methane emissions from sites and processes is an issue for a range of environmental biotechnologies, from landfill to slurry lagoons and large-scale anaerobic digestion.  Agricultural methane sources, such as livestock farming, pose the same problems and can be particularly challenging due to both the complexity of measurement technologies and the dynamic nature of farm environments.

This webinar presents findings from recent on-farm trials, highlighting the performance and potential of leading methane measurement technologies.

  • Chair’s introduction: Tim Fox
  • Keynote: George Eustice – Methane in agriculture, challenges and opportunities
  • Results from IFEAA dairy farm measurement trial:
    • Gavin Lindsay, QLM Technology
    • Tristan Rees-White, University of Southampton
    • David Lowry, Royal Holloway, University of London
  • Q&A

Angie Bywater, a long-time AD WG member and co-author of two IFEEA reports, said “Robust methane measurement is the bridge between ambitious targets and real agricultural action to understand and reduce emissions. This webinar highlights the latest on-farm trials and technology breakthroughs shaping that future”. Angie is a former EBNet co-Manager who now supports the UK side of the Global Center for Sustainable Bioproducts (GCSB).  She is also Lead Editor of the  Royal Agricultural Society of England (RASE) report Farm of the Future: Journey to Net Zero. supported by EBNet and many other leading organisations in the field.

The webinar is organised by the Process Industries Division of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) in  collaboration with the International Fugitive Emissions Abatement Association (IFEAA). More information on the study is also available from IFEAA here.
