This presentation provides simplified examples of how offsets can be generated through on-farm actions PART 10: CASE STUDIES

Case Studies – Dairy Farm Baseline –Area = 100 ha –Herd = 200 cows 40 replacements/yr –N fertiliser 200 kg N/ha/yr as urea Eckard 2011 Sourcest CO 2 e/farm CH 4 – Enteric CH 4 - Effluent ponds 60.9 N 2 O - Effluent ponds 1.0 N 2 O - N Fertiliser 38.9 N 2 O - Indirect N 2 O - Dung, Urine 77.3 Net Farm Emissions988

Case Studies – Dairy Farm Abatement strategy –Dietary oils –3.5% less CH 4 for every 1% extra oil = 20% less CH 4 for 90 days in summer –Nitrification inhibitor spray Only for 90 days in winter = 40% less N 2 O N fertiliser, leaching, effluent = 48 t CO 2 e $23*/t = $11/ha or $1,104/farm/yr Eckard 2011 Sourcest CO 2 e/farm BeforeAfter CH 4 – Enteric CH 4 - Effluent ponds60.9 N 2 O - Effluent1.0 N 2 O - N Fertiliser N 2 O - Indirect N 2 O - Dung, Urine Net Farm Emissions * Actual price is likely to be lower than current carbon price

Case Studies - Dairy Cooperative Baseline –2,500 suppliers, 500,000 ha total –Total N applied = 75,000 t N/yr Average N applied = 150 kg N/ha/yr Abatement strategy –Reduce total N to = 50,000 t N/yr Average N fertiliser = 100 kg N/ha/yr –Reduce lime required 16,667 t lime/yr = 152,437 t CO 2 e $23*/t = $3,506,000/yr Eckard 2011 * Actual price is likely to be lower than current carbon price

Case study – Wheat Baseline –Area = 500 ha –N fertiliser = 100 kg N/ha/yr Abatement strategy –Reduce N to 80 kg N/ha/yr = 38 t CO 2 $23*/t = $1.75/ha or $874/farm/yr Eckard 2011 Sourcest CO 2 e/farm BeforeAfter CH 4 – Burning0.0 N 2 O – Burning0.0 N 2 O - Crop residues35.8 N 2 O - Indirect leaching N 2 O - Indirect ammonia N 2 O - N Fertiliser N 2 O - N 2 fixation0.0 Net Farm Emissions * Actual price is likely to be lower than current carbon price

Case Study – Effluent Pond Baseline –300 cow dairy –Open pond = 4.1 t CH 4 /yr (85 t CO 2 e) –Covered pond = 6.3 t CH 4 /yr (131 t CO 2 e) Data from Demo Dairy; Eckard 2011

Case Study – Effluent Pond CFI Offset –Flaring Can only claim baseline prior to covering –85 t CO 2 $23*/t = $2,000/farm/yr Data from Demo Dairy; Eckard 2011 * Actual price is likely to be lower than current carbon price

Case Study – Biodiverse planting Baseline –Pasture, regrowth suppressed –5 ha planted Abatement – Carbon sequestration: 5 t C ha yr (18.3 t CO 2 e) –Average sequestration for 20 yrs –Includes risk of reversal buffer $23*/t = $420/ha/yr or $2,110/5 ha/yr * Actual price is likely to be lower than current carbon price
