In early March 2024, the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy submitted the Nebraska Priority Climate Action Plan to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The plan identifies agriculture as the largest source of Nebraska greenhouse gas emissions, with electricity generation the second largest source. In this Center for Agricultural Profitability webinar, UNL Ag Law Specialist Dave Aiken breaks down the Nebraska climate action plan, focusing on what the plan proposes to do to reduce agricultural climate pollution emissions in Nebraska.

An anaerobic digester system, such as the one depicted in this photograph, is one promising solution for reducing methane emissions in agriculture. Already widely used in the dairy industry, this system captures methane emissions from manure and converts it into biogas, which can generate electricity.
