The current global scenario reflects that the majority of EU livestock is located in a few member states (Spain, France, Germany, Poland, Denmark, Ireland, Italy and the Netherlands). The produced pig herd in Spain is estimated at 65 million pigs, distributed in 95,000 producing farms.
Furthermore, the global emissions of livestock sector are estimated at around 7.6 gigatonnes of CO₂ equivalent.
Considering that, the estimated mitigation potential of a project like SinGEI is 10%, about 2.5 gigatons of CO₂-eq, regarding the global baseline scenario, if producers continued with the lowest emissions intensity, keeping a constant production.
If the action were reduced to Europe, applying a reduction in the main pig and beef herds, we could estimate a reduction of 30 million t CO₂eq per year. The SINGEI Project Euro Challenge!

Our vision focuses on the reduction or mitigation of CO2-eq emissions, according to the following figures, expressed in millions of tons. (Source: FAO 2020).
In the pilot phase
White layer fattening pigs
Manure treated per year
Annual mitigation of livestock emissions
The first step towards meeting the previous objectives in terms of reducing greenhouse gases and reactivating livestock farming in Spain begins with a Pilot Project in Campo de Cartagena in the Region of Murcia, focused on INTENSIVE WHITE LAYER SWINE FARMS.
