RE: The Effectiveness of Small-Scale Anaerobic Digesters in Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions (VI)
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Once the organic matter is harvested and converted to energy producing CH4, people will no longer have to rely primarily on burning fuels that emit CO2, such as coal and wood.
This is nonsense. Burning methane also produces CO2. You could argue that capturing methane is easier than capturing CO2 and burning methane is more efficient, but it does not ultimately reduce CO2 emissions unless it's never burned.

Yes it was badly phrased but coal and wood have higher water content so you need to burn much more to produce the same levels of heat/energy. So burning methane does reduce co2 emissions because less CO2 is emitted.
Yeah that makes perfect sense sir badger!
