Independent review of biogenic methane science and targets

The Government is to appoint an independent Ministerial advisory panel to review New Zealand’s biogenic methane science and targets.

The panel will be tasked with reviewing the latest science about biogenic methane to provide an up-to-date evidence base about methane’s warming impact.

The panel will also provide advice on what a biogenic methane target consistent with the principle of no additional warming would look like for New Zealand.
