Methane Capture
Used at some cattle or swine commercial feedlots and large dairy farms, methane capture technology (an oxygen-free “digester”) separates methane from animal waste, using the gas to create electricity that can power the facility and be sold back to the grid. The remaining waste makes excellent fertilizer. Normally, animal waste is allowed to decompose in large lagoons, a solution that in turn creates more methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. Methane capture represents a revolution – an industry making an effort to minimize its environmental impact at every level of its production process.
