METHANE RECOVERY FROM ANIMAL MANURES: THE CURRENT OPPORTUNITIES CASEBOOK A recent survey of dairy and swine farms in the United States reaffirmed that AD is a technology with considerable potential. Assuming that the end-use of the biogas manufactured at these facilities is to generate electricity in internal combustion engines, two key factors determining digester profitability are farm size and electricity rates. Ignoring caged layer poultry, the inventory of these economically recoverable emissions suggests that about 0.426 Tg of methane are potentially recoverable from 3,000 dairy and swine farms in 19 states. Deploying digesters in just three key states (North Carolina, California, and Illinois) could potentially recover 79% of these methane emissions. This deployment level could basically meet the AgSTAR program’s goal as defined in the President’s Climate Change Action Plan. Assuming that all recoverable methane emissions are converted into electricity at today’s low efficiency rates suggests that slightly more than 165-mW of new capacity could be brought online. Potentially more important, given methane’s current global warming potential (GWP) of 21, it represents a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to the carbon dioxide emissions from about 3,500-mW of generating capacity from traditional fuels. To give some sense of scale, this represents about half of the current biomass-electric generating capacity in the United States. 1-5PDF Image | Methane Recovery from Animal Manures The Current Opportunities Casebook
