The bioeconomy can help mitigate environmental impacts associated with manure spreading (GHG and nutrient emissions). Aguirre-Villegas and Larson surveyed GHG emissions from fieldapplied manure (dominated by methane and nitrous oxide emissions). Based on CAFOs of similar size, we estimate that electrical market incentives can prevent the emission of 2.69×10 5 tonnes of CO 2 equivalents that would result from field spreading. At the US social cost of carbon (SCC, valued at 51 USD/tonne CO 2 -eq) this reduction is worth 12.4 million USD annually .
