Opportunities for Methane Capture in the Intensive Livestock Industry

Presentation Outline Introduction to Canglobal and Clear-Green GHG Impact from Livestock Production Opportunities for Emission Reduction Credits Practical Examples –Saskatchewan –Chile Future Actions

Canglobal Management Inc. Canglobal Management is a Saskatchewan based consulting firm focusing on sustainable development projects in emerging economies Strong focus in Latin America in Agricultural and Environmental Management Initiatives Expertise in CDM Project Formulation, Feasibility Analysis, and Baseline Establishment Canglobal has participated in World Bank, Inter- American Development Bank, CIDA and CDM-JI funded projects

Clear-Green Biotechnologies Saskatoon-based technology company Focused on design-build-own-operate aspects of waste utilization projects Work primarily with agriculture and food sites across Canada –Intensive Livestock –Food Processing –Slaughter Plants –Municipal Sites

GHG Impact from Livestock Production There are two types of emissions: 1.Directly from farms and farm land 2.Indirectly from industries serving agriculture (i.e. oil & gas, fertilizer, mining, manufacturing, transportation, food processing)

The GHG Profile from Livestock Production Methane is produced by: Animals – Enteric fermentation  Manure – biological activity  Soil – Decomposition of organic matter encouraged by tillage  Biomass – poor management of agricultural biomass results in decomposition and the release of methane CH 4 = 21 x CO 2 N 2 O = 310 x CO 2 Nitrous Oxide is produced from soil and waste systems:  Manure management systems  Storage where the nitrogen present in manure is emitted in a variety of forms (NH-3, N-gas, N 2 O)  Overuse of nitrogen fertilizer  If plants cannot use it, the nitrogen cycle de-nitrifies the N in the forms of NH-3, N, and N 2 0  Tillage  Increases soil decomposition of organic matter and the release of soil nitrogen as N 2 O

Opportunities for Emission Reduction Credits Soil-Carbon Sequestration –Reduce tillage, grow permanent forages, or agro-forestry where biomass can collect CO2 from the atmosphere Manure Management –Processing of manure to prohibit release of methane & nitrous oxide –Better nutrient management to increase biomass production & reduce fertilizer use Biomass Energy: from wastes & crops –Biogas, ethanol, or biodiesel to reduce fossil fuel consumption & fossil fuel dependency

Practical Examples - Saskatchewan Organic Waste Biogas (methane - energy) Nitrogen (Fertilizer) Phosphorous - Potassium (fertilizer) Water

Project – NE Saskatoon

Practical Examples - Chile Concrete Opportunities –Business Environment receptive to Initiatives –Private Investment –Modern and expanding Intensive livestock Industry Our Client –Largest Hog Producer in Chile –Digester – Hot and Cold –Established Base Line – CDM-JI Funded –Base line registration Rules and regulations defined ???
