WE ALREADY HAVE FARM BIOGAS SOURCES ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY
Hundreds of farm biogas sources exist nationwide, and almost all exhaust hundreds of cubic feet of methane (CH4) every minute of every day. The vast majority of this methane is being flared off (completely wasted) but much still escapes into the atmosphere, and because CH4 is as much as 84X more potent of a greenhouse gas than CO2 we must make every effort to completely capture and convert every cubic foot that we can.
The good news is, many farms already have the plumbing and power infrastructure in place. The better news is Volta PowerGen has developed a scalable, low-cost sour gas genset that can be tailored to deliver baseload power from small dairy farms to even larger operations.
