Project Overview
FarmGHG is a purpose-built SaaS platform designed to help New Zealand farmers track and report greenhouse gas emissions in compliance with the Climate Change Response Act. Starting in 2025, approximately 23,000 farms must report their methane and nitrous oxide emissions annually or face significant penalties. Our platform simplifies this complex requirement into an intuitive tool that farmers can use year-round, with automated calculations and compliant reporting at a fraction of the cost of consultants.

Understanding the problem space and delivering innovative solutions
The Problem
New Zealand farmers face mandatory greenhouse gas reporting starting in 2025, with complex requirements for tracking livestock numbers, fertilizer use, and calculating emissions using government-approved methodologies. The calculations involve multiple factors including animal types, feed systems, and nitrogen applications. Existing solutions are either expensive consultancy services or complex spreadsheets prone to errors. Non-compliance risks penalties and potential loss of operating licenses, creating significant stress for farming operations already managing thin margins.
Our Solution
FarmGHG provides a simple, affordable platform that automates emissions tracking and reporting for New Zealand farms. Farmers input their livestock numbers and fertilizer usage throughout the year, and our system automatically calculates emissions using approved methodologies. The platform generates compliant reports ready for submission, tracks payment obligations, and sends reminders for key deadlines. At $1,000+ per year, we're 80% cheaper than consultants while providing year-round support and guaranteed compliance.
