[USCC] What is Anaerobic Composting

[Eliot Epstein]

I would like to put this topic to rest. There is no such term as anaerobic
composting, The term to use is anaerobic digestion. During composting the
predominant gas produced is CO2 whereas under anaserobic digesion it is
methane. Methane is 21 time stronge as CO2. Furthermore the addition of
compost to the soil sequesters carbon. During anaerobic digestion the
methane should be captured. Furthermore the solids residues which may
contain higer concentration of undesired material must be composted or land
applied.
