Dairy farms across America are turning cow manure into renewable natural gas that’s identical to fossil fuel gas and pumped directly into utility pipelines. In this episode, Brian Flis breaks down how this practical solution works, creating new income for farmers while capturing harmful methane emissions.

Listen as Brian explains how farms with 4,000+ cows can add a steady stream of “mailbox money” without disrupting their dairy operations. You’ll learn exactly how the digestion process works, what happens to the waste after gas extraction, and why the resulting fertilizer actually works better for crops.

This episode offers clear explanations and real success stories from farms in New York and Wisconsin. Brian shares how his company partners with farmers for mutual benefit over 20-year agreements, ensuring both environmental gains and financial returns.
