California Incentives Spur Dairy Manure Methane Digester Developments
State incentives designed to help California’s dairy industry reduce methane emissions have led to a spike in the number of manure digester developments underway on California dairies.
According to a new report from CoBank’s Knowledge Exchange, the wave of digester developments on California dairy farms has spurred interest in the technology nationwide.
California has legislated a 40% reduction in manure methane emissions by 2030 from its largest source: 1.4 million dairy cows.
One of the means of achieving that goal has been on-farm dairy manure methane digesters. Digesters not only help reduce dairy manure methane emissions, they capture renewable natural gas.
