Improving Consistency of On-farm Emissions Estimates Program

The Improving Consistency of On-farm Emissions Estimates grant program (the program) was announced as part of the 2024−25 Budget to assist the agriculture sector to reduce its emissions and further contribute to the whole-of-economy transition to net zero.

A grant of $6.4 million (GST exclusive) has been awarded to Agricultural Innovation Australia (AIA), in partnership with the Zero Net Emissions from Agriculture Cooperative Research Centre, under the program. The grant period runs until June 2028.

The grant will help to incorporate voluntary greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions estimates and reporting ‘standards’ into GHG calculators and accounting tools. It will fund:

  • a web application that undertakes emissions calculations consistently with the voluntary standards, and open source access to the calculator code
  • free access to an application programming interface (API) that allows third-party GHG accounting tools and calculators to easily integrate with AIA’s web application
  • engagement with stakeholders to improve the delivery of these products.

AIA also provides free access to its Environmental Accounting Platform, which allows producers and their advisers to estimate their on-farm GHG emissions calculator using trusted methods.

The grant process

AIA was selected at the end of a two-stage application process: a call for expressions of interest (EOIs) (Stage 1), followed by a targeted competitive grant opportunity (Stage 2).

Further information on the Stage 1 process is provided below.

Further information on the Stage 2 grant opportunity was restricted to those invited to apply, following assessment of EOIs at Stage 1.

Expressions of interest (Stage 1)

In December 2024, the department sought EOIs for proposals to improve the consistency of GHG emissions estimates across calculators. The EOI process closed on 23 December 2024.

Following assessment, successful EOI respondents were invited to apply for the Stage 2 grant opportunity.

The Stage 1 EOI guidelines explained the program objectives, eligibility criteria, and the submission and assessment process.
