Are we missing a trick with manure management that others around the world are starting to see? New research suggests the scale of UK methane emissions may be larger than first thought - but also that better management could significantly reduce this, while technology could harness emissions to generate energy and income. All of this rests on focusing attention on the much maligned area of manure management. According to government figures, methane emissions from enteric fermentation (burps & farts directly from ruminant livestock) account for 53% of UK agricultural emissions, while waste and manure management account for 16%. But new research suggests these figures may be the other way around.
Our two speakers present their joint research in this area and highlight key questions and areas of further research: Andy Atkins is Chief Scientist at the International Fugitive Emissions Abatement Association, and Neil Ward is Professor of Rural and Regional Development at the University of East Anglia (UEA), co-lead of the AFN Network+.
