The carbon footprint of integrated milk production and renewable energy systems - A case study.

Dairy farms have been widely acknowledged as a source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The need for a more environmentally friendly milk production system will likely be important going forward. Whereas methane (CH) enteric emissions can only be reduced to a limited extent, CH manure emissions can be reduced by implementing mitigation strategies, such as the use of an anaerobic digestion (AD).
