1 Department of Agroecology Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences Emission measurement database

2 Department of Agroecology Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences ALFAM project –Ammonia Loss from Field-applied Animal Manure –CH, DE, DK, F, GB, I, N, NL, SE Previous experience EU Concerted Action project, FP4 –Databases (measurements, researchers, projects). –Measurement techniques & sensors. –Economic analysis of application techniques. –Review of abatement measures.

3 Department of Agroecology Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences Background –Soil & crop characteristics (pH, crop height etc) –Manure characteristics (TAN etc) –Application techniques (e.g. injection) –Weather (temperature etc) Emission measurements Ammonia emission –Date and time. –Measurement technique (e.g. wind tunnel)

4 Department of Agroecology Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences Statistical analysis. Empirical model. Final report. Website (www.alfam.dk) Results

5 Department of Agroecology Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences Example model output.

6 Department of Agroecology Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences Good –Better understanding of measurement methods. –Overview of important factors. –Networking between researchers. Bad –Uneven geographic coverage. –Mainly slurry. –Applicability of model. Good/bad points

7 Department of Agroecology Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences Focus: –Animal housing. –Manure storage. –(Field application). All N species, not just ammonia. Include methodology. Include economics. Ideas for a new project

8 Department of Agroecology Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences Mainly pays for meetings & travel, not salaries. Data collation, analysis, review. +Easier to write? +Greater chance of success? +100% EU funding. -Re-inforces uneven geographic distribution. Option 1- ’Cordination Action’

9 Department of Agroecology Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences Pays meetings, travel & salaries. –Data collation, analysis, review. –Measurements from solid manure. –Measurements from S. and E. Europe. –Capacity-building (knowledge transfer). –Include manure management? -More work to prepare, lower chance of success? -50% EU funding. Option 2 – ’Collaborative project’
