Pig farm first to tap into carbon credits

A New South Wales piggery has become the first in Australia to turn its manure into carbon credits, earning it as much as $150,000 a year.
Blantyre Farms, near Young in the state’s south-east, spent almost $1 million on a biogas generator that captures methane from the manure, turns it into electricity and exports it to the national grid.
