While carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial and transport activities pose a global warming and climate change challenge to the developed countries, methane from agricultural/livestock production practices might have a similar effect in the developing countries. Therefore, there is a need for profitable emission reduction measures for methane, such as the carbon trade. Lack of data on the present GHG emissions and the projected emission reduction from small-scale projects denies dairy farmers not only a chance to participate in the profitable market based climate change mitigation of carbon trade, but it also excludes them from the income that can be accrued from such a business. This book demonstrates that one can use the number of dairy cattle owned by a farmer to estimate the smallest size possible of a biogas unit to install and at the same predict with 89% precision the amount of gas such a plant will produce. Small sized units will reduce the construction cost and this coupled...
