What is methane capture?
Methane is 21 times more efficient than carbon dioxide, the most common greenhouse gas, at trapping heat near the Earth. On farms, methane digesters process animal waste to accelerate decomposition and capture methane which the farms then burn to produce electricity. This reduces the use of fossil fuels for the farm’s own energy needs and provides an additional revenue stream for the farm when the electricity is sold to the local power grid.
