      It will help prevent global warming because Biomethane is “Carbon neutral”. Cow pats (slurry) are already emitting methane (50-60%) and carbon dioxide (30-40%) into the atmousphere, which contributes to global warming we are simply capturing it and burning it to generate heat and power.

      When you combust biomethane there are 95% less particulates (dust and soot) than diesel which reduces air pollution. There are also half us much Nitrous oxides (NOx) emitted to the atmosphere which contribute to smog and acid rain.
