Description: Meet the methanogens
When you place a small drop of organic waste and residue under a microscope, you get a glimpse of some of our little helpers in the green transition. The methanogens. Just how much help they can offer depends on understanding how they behave and react, and their preferences.
This knowledge tells us how to create the best environment in the digester tank to get the most value from the waste. There are so many molecules just waiting to be captured. We are still just scraping the surface of designer manure and how to take care of limited resources like phosphorus.
It is not manure – it’s biochemistry at its finest.
That’s why biomethane is so much more than just CH4.
