Potential for carbon offsets from anaerobic digesters in livestock production
K Baylis, ND Paulson - Animal feed science and technology, 2011 - Elsevier
Methane from livestock manure accounts for∼ 6.6% of total greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions in the United States, and 1.1% of total emissions in Canada. Methane is 25 times
more potent than CO2 as a GHG and is emitted into the atmosphere from enteric emissions
and manure. Livestock operators can reduce CH4 emissions and may qualify for credits for
its capture by utilizing manure management practices such as anaerobic digesters. Thus,
livestock producers can play a role in reducing GHG emissions while also earning C offset …
