Emissions Trading Scheme
- Adopt a split gas emissions reporting approach which accurately reflects the actual warming effect of methane emissions.

- Ensure farmers are able to offset all on-farm sequestration from their emissions liability.
- Remove barriers stalling the uptake of emissions reducing technologies, such as 3NOP which could reduce methane emissions from cattle but has been held up for years in Wellington.
