Incentivos para a viabilização do biogás a partir dos resíduos da pecuária leiteira no Estado de Minas Gerais

The technological advances presented by the Brazilian animal husbandry in recent years brought many social and economic benefits. However, along with this development there are serious environmental problems due to the large amounts of waste, which are often mistakenly laid in the fields as organic fertilizers, causing different types of pollution in water, air and soil. Thus, this study sought through literature, and analyzed the incentives and the policies for the treatment of problems surrounding dairy cattle manure existing in Brazil as well as in the of State of Minas Gerais, as the largest dairy herd state in the country. It was concluded that there are no actions and efforts from the Federal Government and the State Government of Minas Gerais, mainly from state initiatives, to improve the competitiveness of the supply chain of milk. However, it was identified a gap between these state initiatives for the production of milk and the government programs for the treatment of dairy cattle manure
