ONCLUSIONS
Methane emission from livestock sector is one of the
major GHG emissions of Thailand. The cut off GHG
emission of livestock sector by reduction amount of
livestock in Thailand is unlikely to occur. As Thailand is
agricultural country. Therefore, this paper propose three
scenarios to reduce methane from livestock sector by
modifying the system of manure management systems to
more biogas system. This approach can reduce the
amount of methane emitted from manure management of
livestock and also gain biogas which can be used as
renewable energy.
