The AEM methodology provides an important pathway for reducing CH4 emissions from animal effluent. For the method to remain effective, it must be financially viable, administratively practical, and aligned with evolving industry needs.
The NFF supports ERAC’s proposal to extend the crediting period for flaring projects by three-years and electricity generation projects by eight-years, each to a total of 15-years. However, we believe the crediting period should be perpetual, aligning with the principle that ongoing environmental benefits are recognised and rewarded. CH4 capture and destruction deliver continuous emission reductions, its economic viability should not be constrained by fixed timeframes.
