Federal offset protocol overview : reducing manure methane emissions.En4-762/1-2026E-PDF

"In many livestock operations, liquid manure is stored in structures such as manure pits, lagoons, or under-barn storage. In the absence of oxygen, naturally-occurring bacteria convert the organic matter in manure into methane, a powerful greenhouse gas (GHG). Treating manure before or during storage with specific systems can either prevent the methane from forming or convert it into biogenic carbon dioxide. Doing so results in a lower warming impact on the climate. This project type can also generate GHG emission reductions by using eligible biogas from anaerobic digestion to replace fossil fuels"--Project type description, page [1].
