University of Canterbury research into making biofilters more efficient could be key to New Zealand meeting its climate change targets and improving cattle farming long-term.
University of Canterbury (UC) chemical and process engineer Professor Peter Gostomski is leading a team aiming to dramatically improve the efficiency of biofilters in removing methane from dairy shelters.
Professor Gostomski, a biofilters expert, recently began to focus on methane. With 37% of New Zealand’s carbon footprint from methane produced by cattle, in order to reduce methane emissions by 10% by year 2030 (as part of the Zero Carbon Bill and Paris Accord), biofilters could help meet this goal.
