Abstract

Problem statement - Methane emission from livestock

Agriculture is the largest single source of global anthropogenic methane (𝐶𝐻₄) emissions, with ruminants the dominant contributor. The rearing of animals for domestic consumption and export invariably led to the production of methane as a product of digestion.

Livestock 𝐶𝐻₄ emissions are projected to grow another 30% by 2050 under current policies, yet few countries have set targets or are implementing policies to reduce emissions in absolute terms. This review examines the significant role of methane emissions in the livestock industry, with a focus on cattle and their impact on climate change. It highlights the importance of accurate measurement and management techniques for methane, a potent greenhouse gas accounting for 14-16% of global emissions.

The study evaluates both conventional and AI-driven methods for detecting methane emissions from livestock, particularly emphasizing cattle contributions. This review covers livestock methane emissions, the potential of AI technology, data collection issues, methane’s significance in carbon credit schemes, and current research and innovation. The review emphasizes the critical role of accurate measurement and estimation methods for effective climate change mitigation and reducing methane emissions from livestock operations.

Overall, it provides a comprehensive overview of methane emissions in the livestock industry by synthesizing existing research and literature, aiming to improve knowledge and methods for mitigating climate change. Livestock-generated methane, especially from cattle, is highlighted as a crucial factor in climate change, and the review underscores the importance of integrating precise measurement and estimation techniques for effective mitigation.
