How do the MJ used to produce a lb. of milk change depending on net metering and Renewable Energy Credits (RECs)?

Environmental Stewardship FAQ Category: Energy

How do the MJ used to produce a lb. of milk change depending on net metering and Renewable Energy Credits (RECs)?

Do you have the energy factors used to convert to MJ?

Does diesel use for spreading manure or scraping the pens need to be accounted for?

Does the electricity used for sand separation and reclamation need to be included?

Does the electricity used for digesters and manure separators need to be included?

Does the natural gas used for drying the solids to be re-used for cow bedding need to be included?

How should the farm fill out the anaerobic digester questions when their gas production is going to renewable natural gas (RNG)?

Should gasoline use for snow plowing for the dairy be included?

The dairy farm uses used oil for heat, would that be designated as fuel oil?
