To truly help the environment, anaerobic digestor regulations need an overhaul
The climate benefits of anaerobic digestors are not guaranteed, depending entirely on keeping methane emissions from the AD systems themselves tightly controlled.

Strengthening the Environmental Benefits of Anaerobic Digestors
The global anaerobic digestion (AD) industry has expanded rapidly over the past 15 years and is often promoted as a climate mitigation solution because it provides renewable alternatives to fossil-derived energy, processes organic wastes that would otherwise emit methane directly into the atmosphere, generates economic value through energy and fuel…

How to accelerate emissions reductions in the agriculture sector? Put farmers at the center of methane action
Agriculture is the largest source of human-made methane, and this methane comes primarily from the digestive process and manure of ruminant animals, particularly cattle.
