Greenhouse Gas Reduction Projects – On-Farm
Cow of the FuturePartnering with the U.S. Dairy Forage Research Center
Researching innovations in feed efficiency practices to reduce enteric emissions and increase yield

Greenhouse Gas Reduction Projects – On-Farm
FEAP In 2009, 67 on-farm energy audits were conducted
Helps identify ways to reduce energy use and cut utility costs
Dairy PowerSummit convened in New York State to develop plan for overcoming barriers to anaerobic digesters
Brought together producers, regulators, utilities and suppliersGoals and action plan established to benefit farms of all sizesSummits in other regions to come

Greenhouse Gas Reduction Projects – Processing
D-CREEEnergy efficiency best practices
Refrigeration, lighting, steam systems
Non-Thermal UV TechnologyUniversity of California Davis testing pasteurization alternatives
Non-thermal technologies could save industry over $30 million annually
Next Generation Clean-in-PlaceReduced-temperature cleaning being tested
New technologies could reduce processor energy use by 50 percent
