Yes, it’s true.  Farm animals – especially cows – produce large amounts of methane, a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. 

Emissions from automobiles and factories can be reduced with the installation of sophisticated equipment.  But we have yet to see a catalytic converter or scrubbing system that will capture gases generated by cows at, shall we say, the source.

BioEnergy Solutions takes advantage of nature’s way.  We capture the methane released as livestock waste decomposes, then “scrub” it to create clean, renewable natural gas that is delivered to power plants. The 7-step process can reduce methane emissions by up to 70%, or an estimated 1,500 tons per year, on a 5,000-cow dairy farm.

By capturing methane that would otherwise contribute to global warming, we create a new source of domestic renewable energy that’s good for the environment.  It also helps power companies meet new goals for “green energy” production, and it produces a different kind of green – dollars – for farmers and food processors who share in the revenue from the sale of gas and carbon credits.
