New Zealand to impose greenhouse gas emissions charges on livestock farming in world first

2022-06-14

New Zealand released a draft plan on Wednesday to introduce an agricultural emissions charge, which would require farmers to pay for the greenhouse gas emissions from cattle and sheep burps, in an effort to address the country's largest source of greenhouse gas emissions.

Nearly half of New Zealand's carbon emissions come from agriculture. Farmers' representatives are proposing a price on carbon emissions.

New Zealand, with a population of 5 million, raises approximately 10 million cattle and 26 million sheep. Agriculture accounts for nearly half of New Zealand's greenhouse gas emissions, with methane emissions from livestock digestion systems accounting for nearly three-quarters of agricultural carbon emissions. However, agricultural emissions have previously been excluded from the country's emissions trading system, leading to criticism of the New Zealand government's commitment to combating global warming.

The New Zealand Primary Sector Climate Action Partnership, a group of agricultural representatives, recently proposed to the government that farmers must pay for their greenhouse gas emissions starting in 2025. Short-lived and long-lived greenhouse gases would be priced separately, but total emissions would be calculated using a single metric.

The Guardian reported that while a price on agricultural carbon emissions has not yet been set, agricultural representatives emphasized their commitment to keeping it "as low as possible." They estimate that agricultural carbon pricing would help reduce methane emissions from the agricultural sector by 4.5% and nitrous oxide emissions by approximately 3% by 2030. They believe that such reductions, combined with New Zealand's existing climate policies, would help the country achieve its legal targets of a 10% reduction in methane emissions by 2030 and net-zero emissions of nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide by 2050.

"There is no doubt that we need to reduce the amount of methane released into the atmosphere, and an effective agricultural emissions pricing system will help us achieve this," said New Zealand's Minister for Climate Change, James Shaw.
