MiLCA - Protocol for including Mitigation Technologies in LCA - Public Consultation
Published: February 16, 2024
Consultation open – Draft protocol for calculating the carbon footprint of dairy production
This protocol sets out the criteria and approaches that, when applied to a GHG mitigation technology, will provide the necessary confidence for both the dairy organization claiming the mitigation and stakeholders that their products are safe to consume and the claimed GHG emissions reductions are robustly validated.
The protocol is science based and has been developed by an expert multi-disciplinary academic team that are experienced and influential in global carbon activities and carbon accounting.
The purpose of this consultation is to encourage review and feedback from a wide range of expertise and perspectives. This is ground-breaking work undertaken by the dairy sector and it is critical that stakeholders have confidence in what is ultimately published so that it achieves its aim of supporting the sector to report their emissions reductions consistently and responsibly.
