A New Era for Agricultural Emissions Reporting A webinar hosted by the Ag Emissions Centre during August 2025 across New Zealand and European time zones. Please attend the webinar at the time that best suits you.
MiLCA protocol launches a new science-based methodology for the inclusion of mitigation technologies in agricultural lifecycle assessments.
The MiLCA Protocol, a new framework that offers clear and science-based guidelines to support the dairy and broader agricultural sectors in evaluating and reporting on emission-reducing technologies. This includes innovations such as methane-inhibiting feed additives, which served as the proof-of-concept technologies in developing the protocol.
Developed and endorsed by academics, key elements of the MiLCA protocol support:
- Scientific assessment of mitigation technologies
- A credible methodology for integration of the mitigation achieved into carbon footprint calculations for external corporate claims
The protocol takes a conservative approach to reflect the natural variability in biological systems, to ensure that reported impacts are defensible and robust. The approach is designed to evolve alongside developing scientific insights, technologies and evidence
points, ensuring long-term relevance and adaptability.
