"Factory Farm Biogas: Exposing industrial animal agriculture's green-washing of pollution"
=====
In the factory farm gas scheme, industrial animal agriculture operations can receive lucrative subsidies to install anaerobic “digesters” — in many cases, just glorified tarps over manure lagoons — to capture methane, which is then piped out, refined, and burned for energy.
Factory farms can then receive “credits” for pollution reduction, which they sell to other polluters — such as fossil fuel producers — to offset their greenhouse gas emissions.

More despicable grifting that's on the back of animals while also ruining the planet.
