Methane and Nitrous Oxide are imported greenhouse gases. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change calls for a monitoring of emissions of greenhouse gases and for action programmes to reduce these emissions. An international workshop was held in the Netherlands in February 1993 with two main objectives: 1. to support the development of an internationally agreed methodology and reporting format for National emission inventories as coordinated by IPCC's science working group and the OECD. This workshop concentrated on emissions of methane and nitrous oxide. 2. the development of technical options for reduction of these greenhouse gases and the assessment of the socio-economic feasibility of these options. These proceedings contain presentations and the results of discussions on main sources of these greenhouse gases: oil and gas, coal, ruminants, animal waste, landfills and sewage, combustion and industry, rice, biomass burning and soils.
