Improved Manure Management
Below is all the information about the project: Improved Manure Management
Project Drawdown’s Improved Manure Management solution aims to reduce methane emissions from cattle and pig production systems through strategies in liquid manure management. This involves decreasing storage time by daily spreading of manure on land and covering anaerobic lagoons with sealed, impermeable coverings. These methods replace conventional long-term storage and uncovered lagoons, effectively reducing methane emissions without increasing nitrous oxide. Daily spreading benefits crops by adding nitrogen and phosphorus, while covering lagoons captures methane for fuel use and controls odors.
Impact:
Practices such as reducing storage time and technologies such as covered lagoons can reduce the climate impact of livestock manure by 3.34-6.09 gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent from 2020 to 2050. Implementing these practices and technologies comes at a net lifetime cost of US$1.27-2.99 billion.
