Biogas Made from Farm Waste Could Replace Russian Fossil Fuels in Germany
As Germany attempts to reduce its dependence on Russian gas, the strong fumes from manure and other organic waste on farms could act as an alternative energy source.
An hour's drive west of Berlin, a strong smell emanates from three large cylinders in the middle of a muddy field on Kaim's property, which is shared with 100 dairy cows. Every day, tonnes of organic waste, mainly manure, corn and grass, is poured into these receptacles.
