Livestock Manure Methane Is Soaring, But ‘Resource Recovery’ Isn’t Working [Now is a Climate Crisis]

Image
It has been pointed out that the methane emissions from the livestock waste treatment process were actually reported to be 2.5 times smaller than the previous calculation standards. It is expected that livestock waste will increase rapidly in the future, but an analysis report has been released that 'biogasification', which turns it into a resource, is only at the 10% level. It is urgent to come up with countermeasures as methane, one of the greenhouse gases, is expected to increase rapidly. According to the analysis of the entire livestock waste treatment process for the first time in Korea, the largest source of methane emissions was pigs (73%), and only 14% of pig waste was used for biogas in the public sector.
