Ammonia emissions from manure management Nick Hutchings
Status • Underlying methodology remains fit for purpose • Need to revise the equations to account for developments in manure management • Use of manure as a feedstock in biogas production (emissions calculated in 5.B.2) then return of digestate for field application (3D) • Increase in use of slurry separation? • Many new emissions measurements • Need for review of the scientific literature • Improved emission factors • Development of Tier 3 methodologies • Resources are an issue
Some progress • Collation of measurements of ammonia emission from field-applied manure • xx research organisations in Europe and N America • Lead by Sven Sommer (University of Southern Denmark) • Data added to those collated in an earlier exercise • Data will be available from www.alfam.dk • Most data for cattle slurry applied to grassland • Some data for pig slurry • Few data for other species or solid manure • Results will be published soon (later this year?) • Large differences between measurements from different institutes
Addition to Work Plan • Collation of measurements of ammonia emission from • Animal housing • Manure storage • Field-applied manures • Development of empirical models (Tier 3) • Improved Tier 2 method
