In an earlier post I discussed how methane production is being reduced in cattle with dietary changes. Today I came across a video I wanted to share with you showing how the Straus Family Creamery is working to harvest methane from cattle waste products and turn it into fuel for generating electricity. Here is the video.
A commenter on YouTube pointed out that this system is still burning fuel leading to CO2 still being released into the atmosphere. However, I think this family is doing a great service by converting the methane to power that is sent back into the grid.
What do you think? Please leave a comment below if you have any thoughts to share.
