I am totally in favor of collecting organic matter separately and use it in agriculture but one thing I don't understand is this :
Whether it's in a landfill or a field, won't it produce methane just the same when it decomposes ?
- dgacmu 3y agoNo - anaerobic digestion produces more methane; aerobic digestion (lots of air mixed in) favors more CO2 and less methane. Typically, if you have a deliberately anaerobic industrial composting operation, you capture the methane and produce a small amount of power from it. But aerobic digestion is faster and is what I believe most big facilities use. There's still some methane but much less than if you threw the stuff in a landfill.
