South Korea aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the livestock industry

The Ministry of Agriculture will improve the treatment of livestock waste by transforming it into bioenergy, biochar, and solid fuels.

On January 3, the Ministry of Agriculture announced the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the livestock industry to 7.7 million tonnes, down by 18% from the 9.4 million tonnes produced in 2018. This is part of the “2030 Strategic Plan to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Achieve Green Growth in the Livestock Industry.”

To this end, the Ministry will improve the treatment of livestock waste by transforming it into bioenergy, biochar, and solid fuels; provide low methane-emitting feed; and improve the productivity of livestock species.
