Dairy farming is growing by leaps and bounds in China, which also means that this industry has also become one of the major sources of greenhouse gas emissions. However Huishan Dairy, one of the biggest of its kind in China, has put together a win-win solution to this problem.

Apart from generating electricity, this strategy will prevent methane from reaching the atmosphere, produce organic fertilizer which is safer than raw manure and also reduce waste and odor.
