 Mongolia is moving to recover
and utilize as energy the methane produced by the country’s livestock.
With some 36 million animals
raised in Mongolia, it is estimated that nearly 325.7 Gg of methane
is available for annual processing.
In an important step to recovering
this energy, Mongolia has become a member of the Methane to Markets
Partnership operated by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Climate
Change Division.
Mongolia has announced it will
seek cost-effective methane recovery technologies and use it as a clean
energy source. The Methane to Market program will provide Mongolia with
the methane recovery experience of businesses, scientific and industrial
communities in the Unites States.
Supervising this program in
Mongolia will be the Ministry of Nature and Environment, the Ministry
of Food and Agriculture, Ulaanbaatur’s Governor's office, and other
institutions.
