SUMMARY:Webinar: B0 for IPCC inventories and biogas production
DESCRIPTION:Join our upcoming webinar! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Manure Management Network of the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA) will host a webinar on “B0 for IPCC inventories and biogas production”. \n\n\n\nThis webinar is on B0\, also known as biochemical methane potential\, which is an estimate of the maximum possible methane production or emission from a substrate. Measurements of B0 can be used to estimate methane emission from stored liquid manure when combined with a kinetic model. Three researchers with extensive experience in methane emission will present some pitfalls and promise in measurement\, understanding\, and application of B0. \n\n\n\nThe following three presentations will be given at the webinar: \n\n\n\n\nSasha Hafner: Laboratory measurement of B0: assessment of reproducibility and recommendations for accurate results.\n\n\n\nTony Van Der Weerden: The IPCC model for calculating methane emission from stored liquid manure using B0 data – examples of pitfalls in using standard B0 not accounting for separation or diet affecting B0.\n\n\n\nHenrik B. Møller: Overview of a large data set for chemical composition and B0 of cattle manure with different feedings and feed additives.\n\n\n\n\nEach presentation will be about 20 minutes giving time to a discussion after presentations. \n\n\n\nSasha D. Hafner (https://www.au.dk/en/sasha.hafner@bce.au.dk) is a senior researcher in the Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering at Aarhus University. He has worked for several years in a few research areas related to methane emission. This includes development and evaluation of laboratory methods for measurement of biochemical methane potential and development of related data processing standards and software. Sasha also led the development of a software package called ABM for simulating microbial activity and methane emission from stored manure. He is currently working on application of this tool to predict effects of management on methane emission. \n\n\n\nTony van der Weerden is a senior scientist at AgResearch in NZ. His research area is processes regulating gaseous N emissions (nitrous oxide\, ammonia) from soils\, greenhouse gas emissions (including methane) from manure management\, farm-scale GHG footprints and mitigation technologies. He currently co-leads several international projects relating to GHG emissions from manure management systems. He also leads several national projects on GHG emissions and mitigations from pasture-based livestock systems and improvements to NZ’s agricultural GHG inventory. Tony was a lead author of the 2019 refinement of the 2006 IPCC inventory methodology guidelines.  \n\n\n\nHenrik B. Møller is Professor and heads the biogas research at Aarhus University. His research has a focus on anaerobic digestion and all the related aspects such as energy\, environmental impact and sustainability. During his research career he have worked with process optimization\, biomass selection\, energy yield\, degradation of xenobiotics and pre-treatment. He has investigated the interactions between feeding of the animals\, feed additives and biogas potential. He was among the first Danish researchers looking into the vast energy potential of biogas and was one of the research pioneers in the Danish biogas development and has been initiating the biogas research at AU. \n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE!

SUMMARY:Webinar Series: NZAGRC 'State of Science'
DESCRIPTION:Our popular webinar series is back in May – register now! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are partnering again with the Irish Teagasc Climate Centre to give you access to the latest research findings. Our first presenters Jane Kay\, DairyNZ and Ben Lahart\, Teagasc\, will delve into the question of “Does seasonality affect how much methane an animal produces?” Understanding methane emissions from cows grazing seasonal pasture is important for accurate accounting of agricultural GHG emissions. \n\n\n\nResearchers from Ireland and New Zealand are working together to determine how the stage of lactation and pasture species\, management and seasonal growth effect base methane emissions\, and how these factors influence cows’ responses to methane reducing technologies. \n\n\n\nDon’t miss the chance to gain valuable knowledge from top scientists in the field. \n\n\n\nClick HERE for more information and to register.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Nitrogen mineral fertilisers\, updates on methodologies and relevant work for inventory improvement
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is aimed to researchers\, students and the general public interested in the use of different methodologies to quantify nitrous oxide emissions and ammonia volatilization from agroecosystems\, their advantages\, and challenges for their implementation. We will also touch on how to use the information generated for national inventories improvement\, and we will also provide an update on the development of the N flagship from the GRA. \n\n\n\nSPEAKERS Mrs Sara Hube\, INIA Chile \n\n\n\nShe is chemist\, was trained on greenhouse gas measurement and emissions factors determination and supported the implementation of the technique in Chile\, especially all analytical techniques associated. She currently works as a researcher for the National Sustainable Agrosystems Program. Her research focuses on determining the environmental impact of agrosystems\, with a special emphasis on determining greenhouse gases from soil\, following nitrogen fertilizer application in crops and pastures\, and methane in rice cultivation. \n\n\n\nShe is an institutional representative for the Global Research Alliance\, in the Croplands Research Group. \n\n\n\nDr. Shaun Connolly \n\n\n\nResearch officer studying emissions from the manure management chain.

SUMMARY:Webinar : Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock 
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations declared 2024 as the International Year of Camelids (IYC 2024)\, recognizing the critical role of camelids (camels\, llamas\, alpacas\, vicuñas\, guanacos) in food security\, livelihoods\, and ecosystem resilience\, particularly in arid and marginal environments. \n\n\n\nThroughout the year\, GASL knowledge partners have contributed through case studies\, outreach events\, and policy discussions\, showcasing the economic\, social\, environmental and cultural importance of camelids. \n\n\n\nThis webinar aims to synthesize key findings\, share best practices\, and discuss common facing challenges and possible policy recommendations to enhance sustainable camelid value chains.

SUMMARY:Webinar Series: Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) to support the integration of non-CO₂ super pollutants in the next generation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC 3.0)
DESCRIPTION:As countries prepare to enhance their NDCs under the Paris Agreement\, addressing non-CO₂ pollutants—including methane\, black carbon\, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)\, and N₂O—is essential for enhancing ambition. Clear goals and ambitious measures to reduce non-CO₂ pollutants can achieve immediate climate benefits while also improving air quality\, public health\, and sustainable development. Drawing from the CCAC’s Guidance for Including Non-CO₂ Pollutants in NDCs\, this series offers actionable insights on how to integrate mitigation and adaptation strategies in NDCs that are ambitious\, bankable\, and measurable.  \n\n\n\nThe webinar series is designed to equip relevant government ministries\, national consultants\, and implementing partners with practical knowledge\, tools\, and collaborative approaches to raise climate ambition and accelerate sector-specific action. Through real-world case studies\, technical resources\, and peer learning\, participants will strengthen their capacity to evaluate\, design\, and implement SLCP-related measures. Key topics include MRV systems\, policy planning\, and financing pathways\, all aimed at unlocking the full potential of SLCP mitigation as part of a comprehensive climate strategy.  \n\n\n\n1st webinar: Waste  \n\n\n\nTurning Trash into Targets: Enhancing NDCs with Waste Sector Methane Actions \n\n\n\n30 May | 16:00 CEST (GMT+2) \n\n\n\nRegister here  \n\n\n\n2nd webinar: Cooling  \n\n\n\nCool Solutions: Leveraging the Cooling Sector in NDC Implementation \n\n\n\n13 June 2025 \n\n\n\nRegister here  \n\n\n\n3rd webinar: Black Carbon & Air Quality  \n\n\n\nClearing the Air: Integrating Black Carbon & Air Quality into NDC \n\n\n\n11 July 2025 \n\n\n\nRegister here  \n\n\n\n4th webinar: Agriculture  \n\n\n\nLeading with Livestock: Integrating Agricultural Methane Mitigation into NDCs 3.0   \n\n\n\n16 July 2025 \n\n\n\nRegister here
