Abstract: Industrial livestock farms emit greenhouse gases from various sources, including the milking parlor, the livestock storage environment, and the mass of manure stored. This research aims to reduce the emissions produced by large industrial livestock farms by implementing several hybrid renewable energy systems. To this end, various scenarios are simulated for a single case study, and the results are then generalized to all farms in the country. A novel approach is used in this study to cover a country's industrial livestock farms with a comprehensive plan. The Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables (HOMER) Pro software was employed to simulate and analyze energy configurations.
