Already, Sweden has plants producing biomethane and runs 7,000 cars and buses on it. Sustainable Conservation will continue to support the development of this important energy resource through partnerships with agriculture, government agencies and business. Biomethanes Potential There are million cows in the United States, producing enough manure to potentially power about million cars.
Sustainable Conservation will continue to support the development of viable biomethane industry in California. Proven Technology The technologies for converting dairy manure to biomethane, which can be used in place of natural gas to fuel buses and other vehicles. California has particularly good reasons for using biomethane. dairy biomethane industry along Highway could serve to launch renewable fuel highway, possibly evolving in the future into hydrogen highway.
Biomethanes Potential There are million cows in the United States, producing enough manure to potentially power about million cars. Sustainable Conservations partners on the biomethane study, Biomethane from Dairy Waste Sourcebook for the Production and Use of Renewable Natural Gas in California. The study describes the effective and economical technologies for producing biomethane, as well as specific applications and markets for the gas.
Harnessing the methane from about 20 of Californias cows reside, has some of the nations polluted air. Sustainable Conservations partners on the biomethane study, Biomethane from Dairy Waste, included Western United Dairymen, Institute for Environmental Management, Great Valley Center, CalStart and RCM Digesters. Switching to biomethane Improves air quality Reduces greenhouse gas emissions Protects water quality Strengthens rural economies As natural gas prices continue to rise, biomethane fuel is becoming costcompetitive with natural gas and diesel, and is much cheaper than hydrogen. California has particularly good reasons for using biomethane.
Biofuels POWERING THE FUTURE WITH RENEWABLE FUEL Biomethane Cow Power for Your Tank Methane gas derived from dairy manure offers substitute for natural gas to fuel buses and other vehicles. Switching to biomethane Improves air quality Reduces greenhouse gas emissions Protects water quality Strengthens rural economies As natural gas prices continue to rise, biomethane fuel is becoming costcompetitive with natural gas and diesel, and is much cheaper than hydrogen. This process will also help divert more than 400,000 tons of manure from 36,000 cows.
