ACT Development

Join the Methodologies Development

Understand the alignment of your low-carbon strategy with the transition required for your sector.

ADEME and CDP will be developing ACT methodologies for the following sectors: Aluminium, Chemicals, Glass, Pulp & Paper.

You can input in the development of the assessment methodology in your sector by joining the Technical Working Group. Whether you are a company or a stakeholder from one of these sectors, or from their value chain, your expertise is welcome to create a robust methodology.

Watch the recorded webinar to understand the benefits, timeline and requirements of the project.

Agriculture & Agrofood methodology

Status: close

The land sector is responsible for 10-12 Gt CO2e yr-1 of net GHG emissions – approximately a quarter of global GHG emissions. Half of these are driven by agriculture, while the rest derive from land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF). The largest contributions from agriculture arise from enteric fermentation, manure from ruminant livestock production, crop-related fertilization practices and soil GHG emissions. In addition, some 5% of emissions related to food production come after the farm gate, up to but not including retail. Therefore, it is clear that in order to decarbonise the Agriculture and Agrifood sector, the largest GHG emissions reduction will need to be achieved at the agricultural production phase.

Timeline: consultation was open until 6th January 2021.
