The following demonstrate four illustrative scenarios of
opportunities for dairies to monetize the implementation of new practices.
Scenario 1 Generate carbon credits using Verra Methodology for the Reduction of Enteric Methane Emissions from Ruminants through the Use of Feed Ingredients. In this scenario, the dairy feeds its lactating herd the feed additive Agolin, an essential oil compound that reduces CH4 emissions from enteric fermentation and also claims to improve feed efficiency. The dairy tracks the number of cows fed Agolin, the number of days the feed was provided, and the gross energy intake per animal. An emission factor from published research is then used to quantify the emissions reductions. This data is then assembled in a report and verified by an independent third party. Once approved, these credits could be sold to a company seeking to reduce its emissions.
