Enda nominated as UK representative to LivAGE Cost Action

Enda has been nominated to be the UK representative on an EU COST Action on Ammonia and Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Animal Production Facilities. http://www.cost.eu/COST_Actions/ca/CA16106. The main objective of LivAGE Action is to enhance international discipline cooperation for exchanging ideas and knowledge, sharing good practices, assess technologies that could result in reducing the emissions of GHGs and ammonia from livestock buildings and thus to lead to a more environmental friendly and sustainable livestock production. Some secondary objectives are the estimation of emission factors, the impact of the applied diets, prevailing microclimate and ventilation schemes on emissions, the assessment of integrated monitoring systems, the improvement of CFD applications, the assessment of mitigation techniques and the environmental analysis of the proposed techniques and solution. This action links with the recent work that Enda has been undertaking with University College Dublin for the Irish Environmental Protection Agency on the emissions of ammonia and its impact on Natura 2000 sites.
