Eco Bacon

This bacon claims to be Eco and low CO2, so did they figure out a way to trap pig farts?

Back in college collecting methane from a pig farm was one of the projects for senior design. The farm wanted to collect, compress and store the gas so they could burn it in winter to keep the pigs warm. It wasn't feasible, because it would have trapped too much methane in the building and killed the pigs.

They ended up putting in catalyst tanks and using the manure to make methane to burn. Some dairy farms do the same thing.
