Summary
Bangor University鈥檚 greenhouse gas research has impacted policy and industry through generation of new country-specific nitrous oxide (N2O) emission factors.
In terms of policy, Bangor鈥檚 evidence has significantly lowered calculated N2O contributions in the UK鈥檚 Agriculture greenhouse gas Inventory and informed changes to guidelines at the international level. In Industry, Bangor research highlighted that enteric methane represents a greater proportion of the UK鈥檚 total Agriculture greenhouse gas Inventory than previously thought and worked with red meat / dairy sectors in Wales to enable co-identification of practical greenhouse gas emission mitigation practices.
