Fuels

The British Library is installing the UK’s largest solar heat project, which will prevent the emission of more than 55 tonnes of carbon each year by decarbonising the institution’s hot water demand.

Current statistics on methane emissions are based on the assumption that the amount emitted by cattle is three to nine times greater than that from the spreading of slurry and manure. However, new research suggests that we are seriously underestimating the contribution of the latter.
