Agriculture Sector;

• Controlling methane emissions by regulating animal feed rations,

• Ensuring optimum nitrogen fertiliser use in crop production,

• Increasing the fertilisation process in biogas plants,

• Reducing the use of nitrogen fertilisers in crop production and using legumes as an alterna-
tive,
• Improvement of practices for cattle breeding, ration feeding, and By-law of animal numbers,

• Improving the use of agricultural biomass for energy production and methane production
from manure,

• Development of rice cultivation technologies using subsurface irrigation system,
• Optimising crop allocation as well as improving the application methods and standards of
mineral and organic fertilisers,

• Improve risk reduction practices for natural hazards to food security, including agricultu-
re-related adaptation measures, such as crop rotation, agrotechnical forecast development,
and soil conservation practices to reduce drought, water and wind erosion.

Building Sector;

• Renovation of existing buildings,

• Construction of more energy efficient buildings,

• Use of central heating solutions in densely populated areas,
• Where feasible, use of new techniques (e.g. renewable technologies, heat pumps, combi-
ned energy production plants, small-scale power generation systems, geothermal energy
for home heating, use of waste heat, and options for heat storage) in locations away from
the city centre,

• Develop and promote integrated building design, Building Information Modelling (BIM) and
modular construction technologies using the best available techniques throughout the en-
tire planning and construction processes and life cycles of buildings in order to increase
resource and energy efficiency and reduce environmental impacts and carbon emissions,

• Increasing self-consumption of renewable energy,
• Implementation of renewable portfolio targets, energy efficient labelling, retrofitting exis-
ting buildings, smart grid systems and centralised energy system,

• Increasing the use of technologies such as combining heat and energy, waste heat boilers,
efficient lighting, green building, green chiller, efficient electric motors, gas pipeline networks,
photovoltaic solar energy systems and solar water heaters,

• Increasing the use of energy efficient white goods and electrical household appliances.
