F.EVA.1810 - Excel based model for red meat industry emission reduction interventions

Modelling the impact of emission-related interventions.

Project start date: 30 November 2023
Project end date: 02 June 2025
Publication date: 27 June 2025
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

Red meat based emission interventions can successfully be modelled and assessed in terms of their contribution to net zero targets.

Benefits to industry

Assessing progress towards CN30.

Future research

Updating of the model annually.
