Abstract/Index
Methodological framework. Accounting frameworks and boundaries. Emission quantification principle. Greenhouse gas metrics and conversions. Activity data, harmonisation and transparency. Baseline and business-as-usual design. Costing perspective and definition of cost EQectivenes. Treatment of policy in private costs. Adoption ceilings and scenarios. Interactions, additionality and aggregation rules. Presentation of the Marginal abatement cost curves (MACCs). Qualitative confidence assessment. Baseline greenhouse gas emissions in the danish dairy cattle sector. Methane emissions from enteric fermentation. Methane emissions from manure management and storage. Nitrous oxide emissions from manure management and storage. Direct N₂O emissions from agricultural soil used for dairy cattle feed production. Indirect N₂O from agricultural soil used for dairy cattle feed production. CO₂ and N₂O emissions from synthetic N Fertiliser production. On-farm and upstream energy emissions in dairy cattle production. Consolidated baseline for MACC construction. Business-as-usual (BAU) projections for Denmark’s dairy sector, 2023–2035. Scope and accounting boundaries. Activity data, baseline and drivers. Emission factors and calculation framework. BAU results under the LCA boundary. BAU results under the on-farm boundary. Selecting the central BAU path. Policy environment for the Danish dairy MACC. Scope, instruments and baseline assumptions. Instruments relevant to Danish Dairy emissions. Alignment of policy instruments and emission sources. Economic channels through which policy AQects the MACC. Mitigation measures in Danish dairy cattle production. MM1 reduced residence of slurry in dairy housing. MM2 increased dietary fat in dairy rations (rapeseed-based). MM3: nitrification inhibitors. MM4-MM6: energy saving measures. Baseline and business-as-usual overview. MACC definition and measure set. CTFG boundary: policy aligned. OFE boundary: policy aligned. CTFG boundary: policy enhanced. OFE boundary: policy enhanced. Using MACC results and underlying data to develop green and sustainable finance instruments for the dairy cattle industry. Near-term potential, financing and boundaries. From evidence to instruments. Case design: sustainability-linked loan for increased dietary fat. Portfolio uses of MACC outputs. Limitations and proper role of the MACC.
