Anaerobically digested sludge releases residual methane and carbon dioxide to the atmosphere – methane emissions from sludge treatment make up 75% of the diffuse CO 2 -equivalent emissions ( Gärtner 2017 ). Vacuum degassing is a process where a vacuum extracts residual gas from a media, in this case digested sludge.

Bacteria in the digesters consume the waste, creating methane and CO2 as byproducts. A byproduct of anaerobic digestion process is a low-carbon fertilizer that has allowed farms to drastically reduce or eliminate synthetic fertilizers use and are increasing yield. The gas can then be used for energy purposes.

The study found that an alternative method of quantifying the impact of methane emissions has led to a raft of industry-friendly findings that the livestock sector seems to be using to claim climate neutrality as they continue to pollute. That’s why some experts have proposed an alternative approach called GWP* for talking about methane.

A recent study has found it is currently “not feasible” for the global livestock industry to sequester enough carbon to cancel out its planet-warming emissions — and that policy efforts geared toward that goal may be deeply misguided. 135 gigatons is roughly equal to all the carbon lost due to agriculture over the past 12,000 years.
