Abstract
This chapter of the book presents the ‘CO2-RFP Strategy’ as an innovative proposal for carbon dioxide use in the husbandry industry. Firstly, an introduction is provided to the important concepts the reader will need to learn to navigate a ‘minimal path’ through the strategy. Secondly, estimates of CO2 and NH3 emissions from husbandry (livestock) production are derived to help understand the implications and the guiding principles of the strategy. Finally, the strategy is theoretically explained and discussed as a business model.
