1 Livestock and Air Quality CAFO Air Emissions Project CSU-ARDEC Feb. 9, 2006 Animal Science (Johnson, Stanton, Marcillac) NREL (Hannan) ARS (Mosier/Follet Atmospheric Sci. (Collet, Lee)
2 National Academy of Science NRC 03 Air Emissions from AFO s Commissioned by EPA and USDA Finding 7: methods and measurements needed for NH3, CH4, H2S, PM s Finding 8: Emission factor estimates not adequate Finding 9: Process-based model development recommended
3 National Research Initiative USDA 2004 RFP $ for Air Quality studies? How can AFO emissions be measured? Particularly variable, heterogeneous production systems; e.g., cattle, pens, dams, lagoons, composting of all shapes sizes, etc We have a team that thinks we can!
4 Air Emissions from dairy CAFO: multi-scale measurements and process-based modeling The overall aim: to measure potentially problematic air emissions from cattle production systems and develop process based methods to predict them.
5 Specific Objectives 1. Measure emissions from 2 dairies: Ammonia PM 2.5 Nitrous oxide Methane 2. Determine diurnal, seasonal variations 3. Develop and challenge process model estimates of emission fluxes
6 Objectives Contd: 4. Correlate downwind concentrations of spot sampled emissions - e.g.: H 2 S, VOC s..
7 Approach Quantification of CAFO System Emissions Mass Balance
8 Whole-System Trace Gas Fluxes from Complex Agricultural Sources: Plume Characterization and Conservation of Mass dc/dt z y x F e F l Primary wind direction F d F 0 F S F 1 F S x,y = dc/dt x,y,z + { F 1 y,z F 0 y,z } + { F l x,z } + { F e x,y + F d x,y } Plume Lateral Vertical indicates summation across plane or volume indicated by subscripts
9 Tethersonde Array T a, q, u, [CO 2 ], [CH 4 ], [N 2 O], [NH 3 ], PM 10, PM 2.5? F S x,y = { F 1 y,z F 0 y,z } + { F d x,y } F 0 F 1 F d 1 sonde to characterize background profile, 3 (or more) to characterize plume, chemical trap array Sonde telemetry to central computer. Balloon specs: >1 km height, 5 kg payload, auto-deflate

14 Tethersondes and Air Sampling Tethersondes at 5 heights; wind-speed, direction, humidity, temperature and pressure. Sample lines at 5 heights draw samples to ground for non-reactive gases (CH 4, N 2 O, CO 2 ) filters attached at each sample height collect NH 3, PM2.5, nitric acid. Sample; 1-2hr, 3X/d, 2 days, 7 seasons, 2yr

21 Concentration of N2O by Location UW DW1 DW2 DW3 Locat ion
22 Fluxes F 0 and F 1 : Planes Perpendicular to Wind Direction T a, q, u, [CO 2 ], [CH 4 ], [N 2 O], [NH 3 ], PM 10, PM 2.5 help dc/dt z y x c z c z F 0 = y u z c z dz F 1 = u y,z c y,z dy dz Fluxes estimated by fitting flux velocity planes to measured scalar concentration and wind speed profiles and estimating the integrals
23 Approach Process-based Model Characterization of Emission Source Components Animals, diets, pens, manure removal methods, solids separation, lagoons, composting procedures Prediction of C and N flux through each Modify whole farm model: No cropping, add composting, NH4

27 Important questions NH 3 amounts by source NH 4, conversion to PM s CH 4 from lagoons, dams, composting N 2 O from each Variations: diurnal, season, temp, etc
28 Total cost of US livestock NH 3 and CH 4 (Sci. 05, 308:1901) NH 3 : EPA 04 estimate 2,418,595 t/yr X $1.3 to $21/kg = 3 to 50 $Bill/yr CH 4 : EPA 04 estimate: 7.3 Tg/yr X $0.60 to $1.54/kg = 4 to 11 $Bill/yr Note: McCubbin 02; 10% Livstk NH 3 $4B
29 The next step: Mitigation Treatment effects; algae, aeration, CuSO4, etc, etc. Dietary comp: RDP, peptide, Bypass AA s, CHO source and Kd, etc, etc
30 All Emission Mitigation Approaches Must: be based on a comprehensive, life cycle analysis that assesses all emissions; ammonia-pm2.5, greenhouse gases,etc.
