>manure-to-biogas<\/a> gold rush.\u00a0 The company has just announced that its second biogas project is up and running at the Bettencourt Dairy B6 Farm in Jerome, Idaho.\u00a0\u00a0 Using manure produced by the farm&#8217;s 6,000 cows, the biogas project is generating enough renewable methane to make electricity for about 1,100 typical homes.\u00a0 That&#8217;s just the latest installation in a trend that is seeing manure-to-biogas facilities popping up on farms across the United States like mushrooms after a rain.<\/p>\n<p>This is Cargill&#8217;s third foray into dairy cow biogas in Idaho.\u00a0 The venture also boosts the company&#8217;s involvement in the global renewable energy market, because it will generate about 28,000 tons of carbon emissions offsets.\u00a0 It underscores how rapidly the renewable energy sector is growing from small scale experimental roots\u00a0 into a fully commercialized global market force that is chewing away at the dominance of fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<h3> <a href=\"http:\/\/cleantechnica.com\/2010\/03\/29\/cargill-generates-sustainable-biogas-from-cow-pies\/#more-7752\" class=\"more-link\">(more&#8230;)<\/a><\/h3>\n<div
