Destruction of methane generated from dairy manure in covered anaerobic ponds, Clean Energy Regulator  

​

Methodology to claim earn Australian carbon credit units (ACCUs) for emissions reductions that can be sold to generate income to the government tor in the secondary market, legislation, tools & resources 

e.g. installation and operation of pond covers, gas capture equipment and combustion equipment to existing uncovered effluent treatments, or the replacement of conventional ponds with covered ponds systems. Biogas is collected from the covered ponds and the methane component of the biogas is combusted using flares, an electricity generation system, and/or a gas boiler.

Destruction of methane generated from manure in piggeries, Clean Energy Regulator 

​

Methodology to claim earn Australian carbon credit units (ACCUs) for emissions reductions that can be sold to generate income to the government tor in the secondary market, legislation, tools & resources 

e.g. installation of new covered lagoons or the covering of existing uncovered treatment lagoons, and installing and operating gas capture and combustion equipment. Biogas is collected from the covered lagoons and the methane component of the biogas is combusted using flares, an electricity generation system, and/or a gas boiler.

Destruction of methane from piggeries using engineered biodigesters, Clean Energy Regulator 

​

Methodology to claim earn Australian carbon credit units (ACCUs) for emissions reductions that can be sold to generate income to the government tor in the secondary market, legislation, tools & resources 

e.g. installation and operation of engineered biodigesters, plus gas capture and combustion equipment, instead of a conventional manure/waste treatment lagoon. The biogas is combusted by a flaring system, boiler or internal combustion engine (that can also be connected to an electricity generator).

Feasibility of Using Feedlot Manure for Biogas Production, 2015, Peter Watts and Bernadette McCabe, Meat and Livestock Association

​

A comprehensive review on the application of anaerobic digestion technologies treating agricultural waste for energy recovery including the identification of technically-feasible technologies for beef feedlot manure. An understanding of feedlot feedstock and current manure handling practices at feedlots throughout Australia. A technical and economic assessment of the different anaerobic treatment systems. The results of biomethane potential (BMP) using different aged manures at lab scale. Development of a pre-treatment system(s) to produce optimal influent material from feedlot manure as managed in existing systems. Recommendations for systems worth trialling in a future farm-scale pilot trial. A preliminary economic assessment of the system at a 10,000 head feedlot.
