About

Defra Network eTendering Portal awarded a contract to The Queen's University of Belfast for research on predicting appropriate greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation strategies based on modelling variables that contribute to ruminant environmental impact.

The project, part of the European Research Area Network (ERAnet) on Greenhouse Gasses in Agriculture and Silviculture (ERAGAS), involved reanalysing large datasets from previous Defra-funded research, including the GHG R&D Platform, in the wider context of EU data.

The research aimed to fill gaps in understanding by learning from wider EU research and delivered policy-relevant outcomes for sustainable production, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, water quality, bioenergy, and the wider bio-economy.

The contract value was AUD 50,000.
