Submitted Comment Name Michael Gannuscio Affiliation Na Subject Bio methane farse Message Biogas generation as reducing carbon to atmosphere is farse. Though it is better to recover gas from organic waste than release via landfills the recovery of methane releases carbon to atmosphere not advertised. I have worked in energy industry for 40 years including anaerobic digestion. The process produces methane, CO2 and hydrogen sulfide. The methane is cleaned of these other gases by carbon absorption for H2S and membrane separation for CO/CO2. The clean methane is injected into natural gas infrastructure. The H2S is absorbed in carbon which has to be regenerated with heat (you guessed it, natural gas), then gas in incinerated in thermo oxidizer in form of sulfur dioxide a pollutant. The Co/Co2 is also treated through thermo oxidizer which does not destroy carbon so it goes to atmosphere. Carb and its consultants need to report whole treatment emission's not just the emissions from final products. File Upload (i.e., Attachments): N/A N/A
