Methane-rich pig excrement on a large Netherlands farm is being turned into electricity and partially fed into the national power grid. This man in The Netherlands is combining farming and science to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as well as generate extra revenue from these livestock.
He uses the waste from 2,700 pigs at Sterksel Research Centre to produce electricity.
John Horrevorts, Manager of Praktijkcentrum Pig Farm: "At this moment we are producing enough electricity at our bio-gas installation for 1,500 households and for that we are using all the pig muck from our farm. So in total we produce about five-thousand mega watts a year."
