51721 (2025). Steve Abel to the Minister of Climate Change: What assumptions, if any, were made concerning uptake by farmers of new methane emissions reduction technologies as part of the new methane targets, and what information was this uptake based off?

Hon Simon Watts: I received a range of advice on the feasibility of the 2050 methane target, including on the abatement potential of new methane emissions reduction technologies and their uptake by farmers. This advice incorporated assumptions about the development of new technologies and their efficacy.
