Why stop there? Environmental Power in Portsmouth makes a biodigester that converts manure into usable gas - UNH could power itself, save money, the environment, etc, etc
- John L., Concord

I am pleased to hear of UNH using waste as a fuel- however I am concerned about what happens to the 40% of CO2. It is common knowledge that methane and CO2 are major players in fueling global climate change by warming the atmosphere. So what happens to the CO2 - is it released into our warming atmosphere or is it stored back into the landfill? Your article mentioned that in this particular project most of the unusable gases will be filtered out by the gas processing plant- but what does that mean? Does this imply that it is captured again or not? I hope the Union Leader will follow up with a critical look at the CO2 balance this project may or may not generate in a future article.
