What would be the cost to a dairy farmer if they were in
the emissions trading scheme (ETS)?
It is estimated
that to produce one tonne of milk solids dairy cows emit
about ten tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) largely
in the form of methane.
The current value of milk
solids is estimated by Fonterra to earn a dairy farmer about
