Pig farm licensed to trade carbons by UN

sbk
in Central Thailand

Featured Replies

Nongbua pig farm in this central province is now no longer a normal swine raiser since its pig poo-fuelled power plant and wastewater treatment facility has been certified by the United Nations climate change agency as a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project since last month. The farm owner has installed a 70-million-baht facility to produce biogas from the excrement of around 15,000 pigs being raised at the farm. Over 5,000 cubic metres of biogas is piped daily to a 1.4-megawatt power plant supplying electricity to the farm.

The excess electricity produced by the power plant is sold to the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand.

It is one of the country's nine projects endorsed by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and permitted to sell ''carbon credits'' to industrialised countries under the Kyoto Protocol's CDM scheme.
