SUMMARY

This paper summarises the data and emission methods used for estimating the returns from

agriculture during the first EPER return. In virtually all cases the emissions have been estimated

for individual facilities using emission factors that are multiplied by the weight or number of animals

to obtain an emission value. This paper compares the different methods that have been used to

estimate these values and makes some recommendations for a proposed way forward.

In the annex the Chairman of the Agriculture and Nature Panel of the UNECE Task Force on

Emission Inventories and Projections, Ulrich Daemmgen, gives some further guidance for the

implementation of the recommendations made.
