This paper, prepared by the Dairy Subgroup of Transform to Net Zero, presents strategies for how companies across the livestock supply chain can meet methane reduction targets by accelerating the use of existing manure management technologies.
The document is intended to provide an overview of the role of manure management in achieving net zero goals in the dairy sector. It discusses why addressing methane emissions from manure is important to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the dairy sector and how methane fits into ambitious net zero goals. It presents strategies for how companies across the livestock supply chain can meet methane reduction targets by accelerating the use of existing manure management technologies to immediately reduce methane, with a focus on Anaerobic Digesters (AD) given the availability of options to finance the technology. The document outlines the role of ADs in manure management, the challenges to scaling adoption, including financial, regulatory, GHG accounting, reporting and claiming, and possible paths forward. Given particular challenges within the US agricultural sector to address this issue, the analysis is bound in geographic scope to the US.
