Methane recovery is a renewable energy technology that helps livestock operations, wastewater treatment facilities and landfills turn waste into assets.
Methane: A Basic Element for Energy Production
Methane is the main component of natural gas. It is also a major element of biogas, which is produced during the decomposition of organic materials in an anaerobic (oxygen-free) environment. Methane recovery involves the capturing of methane to produce a usable form of energy, such as burning it in a generator for electricity or using it as a heat source.
