BEAUMONTOIS-EN-PERIGORD, France: A French farmer steps away from his barn and fills up a tractor with fuel made from the manure of his cows, an attempt to put their climate-damaging methane to good use.
A dark green filling station with a pump and bank card payment terminal is connected to the facilities - but it isn't diesel that comes out of the nozzle. The farm's owner, Bertrand Guerin, hopes the truck he uses to collect milk will also soon be filling up at his site. After giving up several litres of milk - all without any human intervention - she enjoys a spot of massage from a rotating brush.
Methane has a much greater climate-warming power than carbon dioxide, and accounts for a huge share of the climate impact from livestock farming.
