Excavation for theanaerobic treatment tank is almost complete, and construction of the sidewalls is well under way.When complete, the treatment tank will process animal waste from 300 sowsand 200 cows. When operational, the project will divert greenhouse gasemissions from the animal waste and convert the captured methane intoelectrical power to run the farm.Methane is the second largest contributor to greenhouse gasses that can beattributed to man's activity. Importantly, methane gas is twenty times moreeffective than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere.Of the 300 million tons of methane that we generate each year, about onefourth is from domestic animals. The methane generated by the manurefermentation of five pigs is enough to cook three hot meals each day for anaverage family.Cow dung gas is 55-65% methane, 30-35% carbon dioxide, with some hydrogen,nitrogen and other traces. The manure produced by one cow in one year canbe converted to methane equivalent to over 50 gallons of gasoline. Thus,the methane harvested from the cow manure alone on this project will be inthe order of nearly 2.25 million cubic feet of natural gas a year or theequivalent of 10,000 gallons of gasoline.Additionally, the remaining sludge that will be treated by the processor isan excellent fertilizer. It will be practically odourless, entirely free ofharmful bacteria, and much richer in nitrogen than manure composted in anopen-air heap.Company President, Mr. Samuel Lee, advises; 'We are committed to bringingrenewable energy into the Philippine market, in line with governmentpolicy. This project, unlike our mini-hydro stations, has the addedbenefit of diverting greenhouse gas emissions while generating electricity.We anticipate that there will be significant excess electricity that can befed back into the national grid from this project, while at the same time,providing for all the electrical needs of our client.'Disclaimer & Safe Harbor Statement: This release may contain certain 'forward-looking statements' with respectto certain of AsiaPac Capital Services Ltd.'s plans, goals and expectationsregarding its future financial condition, performance, results, strategyand objectives.
