The Agricultural Emissions Calculator offers a convenient means of estimating the greenhouse gases emitted and sequestered by your farm. This user-friendly tool simplifies the process of assessing greenhouse gas emissions arising from livestock, manure management, nitrogen fertilizer utilization, and the carbon stored in forests on your farm. It employs the same methodologies and emission factors as outlined in the 2022 Measuring Emissions Guidance by the Ministry for the Environment, New Zealand.
Developed to provide valuable support to the He Waka Eke Noa | Primary Sector Climate Action Partnership, this calculator aligns with the environmental initiatives undertaken by the Ministry for the Environment in New Zealand.
The calculation method employed in this tool mirrors that of our Measuring Emissions Interactive Workbook 2020, a methodology already endorsed by He Waka Eke Noa. It's important to note that this tool employs a straightforward approach and does not account for variables such as emissions-efficient production practices, keeping the estimation process accessible and user-friendly.
