Agriculture Environmental Stewardship Act of 2019

United States · United States Congress · 24 September 2019

Agriculture Environmental Stewardship Act of 2019 This bill allows energy tax credits through 2021 for investments in (1) qualified biogas property, or (2) qualified manure resource recovery property. "Qualified biogas property" comprises a system that (1) uses anaerobic digesters or other specified processes to convert biomass into a gas which is at least 52% methane, and (2) captures the gas for use as a fuel. The term includes property that cleans and conditions the gas for use as a fuel. "Qualified manure resource recovery property" comprises a system that uses specified processes to recover the nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus from a non-treated digestate or animal manure by reducing or separating at least 50% of the nutrients, excluding any reductions during the incineration, storage, composting, or field application of the non-treated digestate or animal manure. The term also includes certain processing equipment. The Department of the Treasury must enter into an agreement with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory for a study of biogas and report to Congress on the study.

Question 21159 — animaux

France · National Assembly · 6 September 2019

Mme Bérangère Couillard attire l'attention de Mme la ministre de l'enseignement supérieur, de la recherche et de l'innovation sur les expérimentations zootechniques sur les animaux. Dernièrement, l'association L214 a dévoilé une nouvelle enquête tournée dans un centre expérimental zoologique de la Sarthe révélant des expérimentations notamment sur des vaches. Effectivement, ces dernières se révèlent être dotées d'un hublot. Ces expérimentations sont menées afin d'élaborer et tester des aliments permettant d'augmenter les performances des animaux d'élevages. Cette pratique, censée servir à déposer des échantillons, a profondément choqué l'opinion publique. Même si la science est importante afin de permettre de développer de nouvelles techniques, cela ne doit pas se faire au détriment du bien-être animal qui doit être une priorité. Aussi, elle souhaiterait l'interroger sur les mesures qu'elle compte mettre en œuvre afin de mieux encadrer ces pratiques et permettant de développer des alternatives à cette technique.

Question 21158 — animaux

France · National Assembly · 6 September 2019

M. Jean-Charles Larsonneur interroge M. le ministre de l'agriculture et de l'alimentation sur les expérimentations scientifiques conduites sur les animaux et particulièrement la zootechnie. Une association de défense des animaux a récemment dévoilé une vidéo à ce sujet ayant largement choqué les Français : des vaches dont le flanc et l'estomac sont perforés d'un hublot de quinze centimètres de diamètre. Ces canules en plastique permettent aux chercheurs d'un centre expérimental zootechnique d'accéder directement à leur estomac afin de mener des recherches et d'élaborer et de tester les aliments de la marque d'un leader français de la nutrition animale. L'article L. 214-3 du code rural et de la pêche limite pourtant les expériences biologiques médicales et scientifiques sur les animaux aux cas de stricte nécessité. De plus, ces expérimentations cruelles et douloureuses pour les vaches contreviennent aux dispositions de l'article 515-14 du code civil au terme duquel « les animaux sont des êtres vivants doués de sensibilité. » Constatant la permanence de cette pratique, il souhaiterait connaître les dispositions que le Gouvernement entend prendre pour interdire ces recherches privées ou publiques destinées à optimiser la productivité des animaux d'élevage.

Question 18690 — pollution

France · National Assembly · 3 September 2019

Mme Florence Granjus alerte M. le ministre d'État, ministre de la transition écologique et solidaire, sur la pollution actuelle de l'air en France. Le 12 février 2019, M. le ministre a défendu le bienfondé de l'étiquetage Crit'air afin de lutter contre l'émission de particules fines. Depuis le début de l'année plusieurs épisodes de pollution sont survenus, nécessitant la mise en place de circulation alternée dans plusieurs métropoles de France. M. le ministre a ainsi émis le souhait de pouvoir réagir plus vite face à l'urgence de ce genre de pic de pollution. A ce jour, il existe différentes méthodes de mesure de la qualité de l'air par le biais de balises pour des relevés ponctuels ou de façon bien plus régulière. Une étude publiée le 12 mars 2019 dans l' European Heart Journal rappelle que la pollution de l'air serait à l'origine d'environ 800 000 morts prématurées en Europe chaque année et près de 9 millions de victimes à l'échelle de la planète. En France, le bilan est revu à la hausse pour atteindre 67 000 morts prématurées en raison de la qualité de l'air, contre 48 000 selon les estimations précédentes. Elle souhaite connaître ses réflexions et pistes d'action pour enrayer cette estimation de l'augmentation prévisible du nombre de décès.
