Methane Digester Delivers 750 kW Electricity at Holsum

Kirk Van Dussen, manager at one of Holsum Dairy farms, discusses the dairy’s use of an anaerobic methane digester to recycle, reduce and reuse waste products produced by its cows. The methane digester converts the methane gas into 750 kW of electricity, which produces some revenues for the farm. It also results in cheaper fertilizer for local farms and helps control odors.
