Sectoranalyse varkens om implementatie van emissiearme systemen via een investerings-regeling te stimuleren

Samenvatting

Due to the urgency to reduce nitrogen emissions and deposition the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality wants to start an investment program to stimulate the implementation of emission reducing systems in livestock production. In this report the different options for emission reduction of ammonia in pig production are given. This concerns pig houses that achieve an integral emission reduction through source-oriented measures or through a combination between source-oriented and end-of-pipe measures. This means that not only ammonia emissions should be reduced, but also emissions of greenhouse gases (particularly methane), odour and particulate matter. The reported options already have proven their efficiency to reduce ammonia emissions by protocol measurements. In this report also attention is given to emissions from manure storage systems at the farm outside the pig house and to options for reduction.
