• 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 GHG Impact from Livestock ProductionLivestock Production
There are two types of emissions: 1. Directly from farms and farm land2. Indirectly from industries serving
agriculture (i.e. oil & gas, fertilizer, mining, manufacturing, transportation, food processing)
GHG Emissions In Canada
Industrial7.3%
Agriculture8.7%
Land Use0.3%
Waste3.4%
Energy80.3%
The GHG Profile from The GHG Profile from Livestock ProductionLivestock 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
CH4 = 21 x CO2
N2O = 310 x CO2
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, N2O)
Overuse of nitrogen fertilizer If plants cannot use it, the
nitrogen cycle de-nitrifies the N in the forms of NH-3, N, and N20
Tillage Increases soil decomposition of
organic matter and the release of soil nitrogen as N2O
Opportunities for Emission Opportunities for Emission Reduction CreditsReduction 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
