This project investigated the development of low cost options for reducing effluent pond methane emissions for inclusion into industry and government emission methodology. After an initial biogas system, a more efficient system was constructed involving a more robust ballast system: a gas blower, new cover, gas pipeline, flare and control system able to monitor the ability to generate carbon credits under the Carbon Farming Initiative. The new system, particularly the new cover, is proving to have reduced methane and odour emissions, and be an economically feasible option for the industry.
