Pinehurst Acres Swine Methane Capture Project

This project began in 2004, and over the course of the 20-year project duration it is expected to avoid 27,119 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent emissions through the capture and destruction of methane.  Manure from up to 4,200 hogs from the Pine Hurst Acres hog farm near Danville, PA, is fed into a plug-flow anaerobic digester, which processes the manure and collects methane gas, which is then burned as an alternative energy source.  Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, having 21 times the greenhouse warming potential of CO₂.  This project was verified by SES, Inc, and entered the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) through an aggregator of agricultural emissions reduction projects.
