Modelling the impact of emission related interventions.

Project start date: 01 August 2022
Project end date: 30 September 2023
Publication date: 23 April 2024
Project status: Completed
Livestock species: Grain-fed Cattle, Grass-fed Cattle, Sheep, Goat, Lamb
Relevant regions: National

Summary

This project involved the development of a value proposition model for emissions reduction projects. The model will serve as a tool to enable consistent and objective investment decisions for projects investigating technologies targeting emissions reductions in livestock such as new feed varieties and feed additives. The model will complement the current MLA assessment and evaluation framework which will serve as an input to this model.

Objectives

Develop an emissions reduction model for the red meat industry.

Key findings

Successful industry level modelling to 2050 of all CN30 interventions.

Benefits to industry

Assessing progress to CN30 on onwards.

MLA action

Use the model for all CN30 related investments.

Future research

Updating of the model annually.
