Reduction of non-CO₂ gases

Methane mitigation technologies in Agriculture

Methane mitigation in agriculture reduces emissions from livestock, rice cultivation, and manure through measures such as feed additives, improved manure management, alternate wetting and drying (AWD) in rice, and biogas capture technologies.

How this solutions relates to the action agenda

Axis: Unleashing Enablers and Accelerators including on Financing, Technology and Capacity-Building

Key Objective: Reduction of non-CO₂ gases

Why it matters

Agriculture is the largest source of human-caused methane, making it central to near-term climate action. Interventions such as feed additives that cut enteric fermentation, biogas systems that convert manure to energy, and water management techniques in rice paddies offer large mitigation potential while delivering co-benefits. These include improved farm productivity, renewable energy generation, income diversification, and enhanced food security.
