Analysis of greenhouse gas reduction technology and improvement effects in Chungcheongnam-do (Chungnam) based on reduction scenarios in the livestock sector with increasing climate variability due to climate change, the importance of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission management is being emphasized. South Korea, as a country with an energy-intensive industrial structure, is classified as a high GHG-emitting nation, and emissions from the livestock sector continue to rise. In particular, CH4 (methane) and N2O (nitrous oxide), which have high global warming potential (GWP), are the major contributors, necessitating systematic management. However, previous efforts in the livestock sector have mainly focused on odor control and air pollutant emission reduction, while GHG mitigation technologies remain in their early stages. This study analyzes the livestock sector in Chungnam, the largest livestock-producing region in South Korea, and evaluates the GHG emission characteristics and mitigation effects of recently developed reduction technologies up to 2030. The results indicate that emission management for Korean beef cattle, cows, and pigs is crucial, with CH4 showing a greater reduction effect compared to N2O upon the application of reduction technologies. By sector, enteric fermentation requires targeted management for Korean beef cattle, while manure management is most critical for pigs. However, since GHG reduction technologies for the livestock sector are still in their early stages and field applications are limited, quantitative analysis remains challenging. Therefore, continuous research support and policy attention from national and local governments are essential, along with the establishment and maintenance of regional governance for technology dissemination. This study is expected to serve as a foundational reference for policy-making and technology development aimed at reducing GHG emissions in the livestock sector. KCI Citation Count: 0
