Preference will be given to proposals that explore novel concepts, mechanisms, or technologies beyond well-established research areas and demonstrate a credible pathway to emissions reduction, adoption, and deployment at scale within a commercially relevant timeframe. <br><br>As part of this round, ideas are welcomed that specifically address the following research challenges: <br>1) the development of biological and soil-management technologies that reduce N₂O emissions by both enhancing N₂O consumption (reduction of N₂O to dinitrogen, N₂) and preventing the accumulation of nitrite (NO₂⁻), a key precursor of N₂O formation. Technologies must be able to be applied at scale and suitable for NZ pastoral systems i.e., nitrous oxide emissions from urine patches. <br>2) the development of robust, routine in situ approaches for quantifying the key intermediaries and processes governing N₂O emissions under urine patch conditions. This includes accurate measurement of N₂ production and/or nitrous oxide reductase (nosZ) activity, as well as nitrite formation, pool sizes, and concentration dynamics. <br><br>3) If your idea doesn’t fit
