1. Joining the links of a Greener meat chain Stephen Woodgate, Chief Executive

2. Introduction..... Is there an issue? Fabra and its place in the foodchain Carbon footprinting the by-product industry Impact on the carbon footprint of meat Summary Presentation Overview

3. Is there an issue?

4. Who cares? Legislators - who can make progress on their green agendas Retailers - who can market meat with a lower carbon price tag Consumers - who will be able to continue eating meat without concern for its environmental impact Meat producers - whose long term security is based on meat consumption Meat processors - whose long term security is based on meat consumption

5. Introducing Fabra

6. Fabra: Aims & Objectives Represent and advocate interests of members Recognised as foremost authority in our sector Bio security for livestock and animal by-product Carbon neutral processing and sustainability Educate and raise standards for industry members and allied industries, organisations, regulators Promote high quality research & development in Foodchain and Biomass Renewables Industries.

7. Fabra and Education Accredited Continuous Education Education and training for sector stakeholders On-line modules, testing & certification Example: One of four Modules being planned

8. By-products of different species; allocation on basis of mass Animal By-Products: The UK produces ~ 2.25million tonnes per annum

9. Rendering: Simplified Process Flow diagram Raw material Sizing Drying/Cooking Pressing Cooling Grinding Processed Proteins “MBM” or “PAP” Rendered Fat “Tallow” Centrifuge Decanting

10. Calculating the carbon footprint Crop growing for feed production Animal husbandry Animal Slaughter- house Animal By-product processing Methane Processed animal protein Rendered animal fats Meat and bone meal FertiliserEnergy Land use change Additives FertiliserEnergy Transport fuel Energy Focus on By-Products

11. Categorised by the EU Animal By-Products Regulation ABPR 1069/2009 According to the “risk” to animals and humans Category 2 Category 3 Category 1 Animal By-Products: Regulation

12. TSE Animals - BSE & scrapie Specified Risk Materials [SRM] e.g. skull/ brain, spinal cord, cattle intestines.. or dangerous contaminants e.g. Dioxins and PcB’s Uses... After Rendering [MBM and Fats] Ingredient/ fuel for cement manufacture Energy: fuels for heat and power, biodiesel Category 1 Category 1 ABP

13. Fallen Stock - animals died on farm ABP rejected as unfit for human consumption Uses... (Raw) Biogas or Composting after pressure processing Uses... After Rendering Energy: Fuels for Heat and Power Fats: Oleochemicals, Biodiesel MBM: Organic fertiliser Category 2 Category 2 ABP

14. Category 3 ABP from animal slaughtered to Veterinary Standards.....“Fit for Human Consumption” Uses... Raw Biogas or Composting Uses...After Rendering Energy, Oleochemicals, Biodiesel, Organic fertiliser. Pet food & Animal Feed* *Approved in principle; Subject to amendment of TSE regulations Category 3 ABP

15. Processing Systems in Practice Category 3 By-Product Processing [Rendering] By-Product Processing [Rendering] MBM Rendered Fat PAP Rendered Fat Bio Fuel Category1 Category2

16. Applied Research A Carbon Footprint “Toolkit” for the Rendering Industry Angel Ramirez

17. The Rendering Process: Boundaries

18. Calculating the carbon footprint Calculation of a Carbon Footprint of a product requires that different streams are “Allocated” Allocation may be by: –Mass/ Weight –Economic Value –Product/Waste

19. Illustration of allocation principles Example: Beef steer Allocation “Meat” for Human Consumption “By-Product” not intended for Human Consumption Mass 55 45 Economy94.55.5 Product /Waste1000

20. Illustration of Carbon Footprint [CFp] Using different allocation principles Example: Beef steer [16.2 Kg CO 2 Equivalent/ Kg] Allocation CFp “Meat” CFp “By-Product” Mass8.97.3 Economy15.30.9 Product /Waste16.20

21. Illustration of Carbon Footprint [CFp ] Preliminary and Simplified [ Kg CO 2 Equivalent/ Kg] CFp “By-Product” entering “Process” Plus CFp within the Process boundary** Total {Range} 7.3Cat 1-0.77 6.5 - 7.5 Cat 30.15 0.9Cat 1-0.77 0.1 – 1.2 Cat 30.15 0Cat 1-0.77 -0.77 – 0.15 Cat 30.15 ** Using Mass allocation and Fuel useage; 25% natural gas, 75% renewable fuel [Tallow]

22. Summary Carbon footprint data is available for the livestock sector Calculating carbon footprint for meat requires allocation Allocation methods can give widely different values Economic allocation is accepted by many as preferred option Using economic allocation reduces carbon footprint for meat Carbon footprint of meat may be reduced further IF...... animal by-products are able to gain “added economic value” Fabra focus: Adding value to animal by-products Reducing the carbon fotprint of the livestock sector
