Estimation Of Methane Emissions From Beef Cattle Manure In Nebraska, Noe Hernandez
Estimation Of Methane Emissions From Beef Cattle Manure In Nebraska, Noe Hernandez
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
The emission of methane from livestock production contributes to climate change. Cattle manure accounts for one-third of the total methane emission over the lifecycle of beef and dairy production and represents an opportunity to lower the environmental footprint of the beef industry. While models have been developed to estimate methane emissions from manure under certain types of manure storage methods, there is a lack of a user-friendly interface that agricultural or environmental engineers can use to estimate the methane emission from manure for specific regions. Therefore, the goal of this study was to build an interface to estimate methane emissions …
