Context
The release of the IPCC’s Fourth Climate Assessment Report has once more drawn the public attention to the important role that agriculture plays in the global greenhouse gas budgets, namely in the case of CH4 and N2O. In Switzerland, 80.5% of all national CH4 emissions stem from the agricultural sector (year 2007 values). These numbers so far lack direct experimental validation in the field. The project will thus aim at validating CH4 emissions at the farm scale as a first step towards a validation at the national scale.
Also the Swiss television SF1 was interested in our project investigating the regional methane budget. See the short video of the Einstein show broadcasted in September 2011, starring Jacqueline Stieger and Dennis Imer.
Objectives
Thus, we aim to quantify CH4 emissions at the farm scale (0.5–5 km2) of the ETH Research Station Chamau and relate this to estimates reported in the Swiss National Inventory Report under the Kyoto Protocol.
