In Europe a country is fined if it doesn't meet it's targets. The measurement of emissions includes agriculture and is a big problem for some countries. So if they can monitor and prove that this method will reduce emissions then I think they will consider it.

A year ago there was a sad moment when the European Parliament laughingly decided to not limit methane emissions from ruminants: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/ep-live/en/plenary/video?debat...

The relevant part is from 13:58 (Andrieu, Eric) to (including) !4:00 (Eck, Stefan). I'm not sure if there ever existed software that worked on that site, so you probably have to skip to 1:48 in the stream mms://vod.europarl.europa.eu/wmv/nas/nasvod02/vod0910/2015/wm/VODChapter_20151028_12104300_14320200_509dc321150aee25e47-337f.wmv?wmcache=0

It's not like that voting is directly relevant in the legislative process but that's another discussion.
