UK’s NFU celebrating revision of official GHG emissions for OSR

November 22, 2021 |

In the UK, the National Farmers Union is celebrating a victory following a revision of official government figures on the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission levels of oilseed rape, originally submitted in the Department for Transport’s NUTS2 report.

The previous report had not fully accounted for to improving agricultural practices and yield improvements, which would have prevented some regions of the UK selling oilseed rape for biodiesel production without a financial penalty and onerous paperwork.

The NFU worked closely with project leaders HGCA and the DfT, to improve and update regional GHG emissions data, ensuring UK farmers continue to have access to the full range of oilseed and cereal markets, including bioenergy.
