Anaerobic Digestion
Anaerobic digestion (AD) may be a viable manure treatment and handling method for dairy farms. This process produces renewable energy, helps to control water pollution, reduces odors, and reduces the emissions of greenhouse gases. Anaerobic digestion produced biogas is an environmentally friendly, renewable fuel. Before use, it is important to clean or upgrade the gas to make it functional in gas appliances such as engines and boilers.
