Question
If the two large tanks in this picture work like the digesters in a wastewater treatment
plant, then that implies that they
use manure, water, and aerobic bacteria (who do consume O2) to produce CH4.
collect and store CO2 in underground wells.
use manure, water, and anaerobic bacteria (who do not consume 02) to produce CH4.
burn unused parts of crop plants to generate heat for homes.
