SourceSLCPCo-benefitBarrierGood practices Livestock (Manure Management) CH4, N2O Producing biogas Producing organic fertilizer Improve hygienic environment Prevent eutrophication Clean air Improve community relationship High investment for biogas production Requires land Knowledge and know- how for operation and maintenance of biogas facilities Biogas and compost at family scale Incentive/ subsidy for the construction of biogas facilities Support To demonstrate the best practices in regional and national workshops R&D and Environmental assessment & planning

SourceSLCPCo-benefitBarrierGood practices Livestock (Enteric fermentation) CH4, NH3 Better nitrogen management (i.e. less nitrates and ammonia) Promote R&D Proven technology Not enough emission data Lack of network for knowledge sharing Improve feedstock New Zealand and Australia Support CCAC network for like manure management Funding for R&D for emission inventory, mitigation options and EIA Green farm model

SourcesSignificance of source Feasibility for region RiceSig in irrigated systems Yes in irrigated systems and appropriate cultivars available ManureNot large emission in region currently but meat consumption set to grow Yes biogas can be cheaper than alternatives, relatively easy to set up at small scale, can have community gas projects etc Enteric FermentationLarger than manure Need clarity over technology and need knowledge and awareness raising Crop Residue - Open Burning Large Feasible (Thailand) Slash and burnLarge Very Challenging
