CARBON: Meath trial farm aims for ‘carbon-neutral’ beef. “Beef cattle on multi-species swards were slaughtered earlier and consistently grew at 20% higher growth rates throughout the grazing season, and were brought to beef earlier as a result,” Connie added.
“When fertiliser reduction coupled with animal-performance improvements are compared, we have reduced our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the farm by about 30% after one year alone. “And that does not take into account the accelerated soil sequestration going on beneath the multi-species swards compared to ryegrass only,” she outlined.

BIODIESEL: This latest report was only published after numerous requests for ‘access to documents’ by industry and civil society and was eventually released too late to influence a now-closed public consultation on the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
Now the latest figures indicate that land-use change (LUC) emissions from biodiesel produced from palm oil is responsible for 231 grammes of carbon dioxide equivalent per megajoule of final energy – more than four times greater than estimated just five years ago and 2.5 times the total lifecycle emissions of fossil diesel. LUC emissions from biodiesel from soy are almost three times higher than the previous estimate. Biodiesel made from virgin vegetable oil is expected to have a 70% share in Europe’s biofuel market in 2020.
