DPIRD researcher Jackie Bucat will be delivering grain emissions workshops at the GRDC Update in Perth on 27-28 February

Bucat is a researcher with the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) and will be presenting workshops at the Update, scheduled for 27 and 28 February.

Bucat's one-on-one sessions will run for 30 minutes and will focus on the Grains Greenhouse Accounting Framework (G-GAF) calculator, available from Primary Industries Climate Challenges Centre (PICCC).

Attendees at the workshops will be able to familiarise themselves with the calculator through a dry run of actual or example data, as well as run comparisons of emissions between crops or paddock activities.

Bucat will also be giving a short presentation during the "Reducing grain farming emissions" focus session from 1.30pm on day two of the Update - 28 February.

Bucat is generally known for canola agronomy research but is currently contributing to a range of DPIRD carbon projects, including looking into the sources of agricultural emissions in the cropping sector and what can be targeted for reduction.

Workshop spaces are limited with only nine available across the two days of the event and registrations can be made by emailing:  jackie.bucat@dpird.wa.gov.au
