Purposes
Supports intensive hog or sheep facilities to adopt practices and technologies or complete facility modifications that will improve their environmental performance, including adaption to climate change and reduction of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.
Such As:
Efficiency & Emissions Analysis:
Energy audits or equivalent emissions-reduction assessments.
Building Envelope, Lighting & Ventilation Upgrades (materials & installation):
(Eligibility conditional on GHG reduction, e.g., lower natural gas/power use)
Roof/wall insulation
Energy-efficient doors/windows
Switch to LED lighting
Heating pads replacing heat lamps
Ventilation improvements (e.g., side to chimney mount, shutters, winter covers)
Boiler heaters replacing inefficient systems
Energy monitoring/smart controllers & equipment
On-Farm Energy Source Improvements:
Wind, geothermal, solar energy systems (generation, switching, storage)
Water-use equipment upgrades to improve energy efficiency (must reduce GHG)
Variable flow pumps
Freight, labour, installation costs (third-party)
Liquid Manure Management for Emissions Reduction:
Anaerobic digestion with off-farm organics; converting biogas into electricity, heat, or RNG
Acidification of liquid manure
Methane conversion tech (collectors, flares, catalytic oxidation, bio-filters)
Impermeable negative-air covers with methane/biogas capture
Solid-liquid separation systems
Specialized equipment for efficient manure application (e.g., injection systems, flow meters, draglines, reels, openers, applicators, agitators)
(Eligibility based on nutrient efficiency—e.g., injection or reduced rate/acre; swine producers may benefit from owning vs. hiring equipment)
