Methane Capture<br />

• <strong>Carbon</strong> credits are earned for the capture of<br />

methane from livestock waste systems, either just<br />

covered lagoons or anaerobic digesters.<br />

• Each ton of methane captured earns 18 tons of<br />

carbon dioxide credits which can be sold on CCX.<br />

• Estimate at today’s carbon price about $30 per<br />

dairy cow, additional revenue if methane can be<br />

used to produce electricity.<br />

• Projects can be anywhere in US.
