Reduction of greenhouse gases in agriculture.

Description

In this report, scenarios were used to investigate which measures can be taken to achieve a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture. For this purpose, two scenarios “with existing measures (WEM)” and “with additional measures (WAM)” were developed. The WAM scenario takes into account the current state of planned measures under the Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) for Austria. Based on this, two further scenarios (WAM+ and WAM++) were developed with specific measures to reduce agricultural greenhouse gas emissions by 30 % (WAM+) and 40 % (WAM++). In addition to the effect on greenhouse gas emissions, the economic impact of the scenarios was also analysed. The results serve as the basis for the NEKP.
