Joining the links of a Greener meat chain
Stephen Woodgate, Chief Executive
• Introduction..... Is there an issue?
• Fabra and its place in the foodchain
• Carbon footprinting the by-product industry
• Impact on the carbon footprint of meat
• Summary
Presentation Overview
Is there an issue?
Who cares?• Legislators - who can make progress on their green agendas
• Retailers - who can market meat with a lower carbon price tag
• Consumers - who will be able to continue eating meat without concern for its environmental impact
• Meat producers - whose long term security is based on meat consumption
• Meat processors - whose long term security is based on meat consumption
Introducing Fabra
Fabra: Aims & Objectives
Represent and advocate interests of members
Recognised as foremost authority in our sector
• Bio security for livestock and animal by-product
• Carbon neutral processing and sustainability
Educate and raise standards for industry members and allied
industries, organisations, regulators
Promote high quality research & development in Foodchain
and Biomass Renewables Industries.
Fabra and Education

A Carbon Footprint “Toolkit” for the Rendering Industry

The Rendering Process: Boundaries
Calculating the carbon footprint
• Calculation of a Carbon Footprint of a product requires that different streams are “Allocated”
• Allocation may be by:– Mass/ Weight– Economic Value– Product/Waste
Illustration of allocation principles Example: Beef steer
Allocation “Meat” for Human Consumption
“By-Product” not intended for Human Consumption
Mass 55 45
Economy 94.5 5.5
Product /Waste 100 0
Illustration of Carbon Footprint [CFp] Using different allocation principles
Example: Beef steer [16.2 Kg CO2 Equivalent/ Kg]
Allocation CFp “Meat” CFp “By-Product”
Mass 8.9 7.3
Economy 15.3 0.9
Product /Waste 16.2 0

Summary
• Carbon footprint data is available for the livestock sector• Calculating carbon footprint for meat requires allocation• Allocation methods can give widely different values• Economic allocation is accepted by many as preferred option • Using economic allocation reduces carbon footprint for meat• Carbon footprint of meat may be reduced further IF......
animal by-products are able to gain “added economic value”
Fabra focus:
• Adding value to animal by-products
• Reducing the carbon fotprint of the livestock sector
