Project Background
Plains region, a vital region for the U.S. beef production. This project will result in a pilot inset market for CO2-equivalent (CO2e) reduction for two key segments of the beef value chain: stockers and cattle feeding operations. Emissions-reductions will be evaluated holistically to understand the production costs, benefits, and tradeoffs associated with achieving them.

Regional
