Project Abstract
This project seeks to quantify the abatement potential of a range of measures associated with the storage and land-spreading of bovine slurry and generate the associated national emission factors for each option for inclusion in Ireland�s national ammonia inventories. These measures will include the chemical amendment of slurries as well as a range of low-emission spreading technologies. The regional impact of sectoral expansion on critical N loading to vulnerable ecosystems as well as the potential impact of abatement measures will be also assessed. Ultimately, the objective of this project is to quantify a low ammonia emissions trajectory for agriculture and decouple as far as possible ammonia losses from agricultural production.
