You can use the methane you capture yourself, but it requires the right equipment to safely collect, clean, and store the gas. Once cleaned, methane captured from sources like a farm waste lagoon can be used as a renewable energy source to generate electricity, provide heat, or fuel vehicles.
Many farms install systems that convert methane into energy on-site, which helps reduce energy costs and lower greenhouse gas emissions. However, technical guidelines and local regulations must be followed to prevent leaks or accidents.
