|Description=AgSTAR is an outreach program designed to reduce methane emissions from livestock waste management operations by promoting the use of biogas recovery systems. Biogas recovery systems are anaerobic digesters that capture and combust biogas to produce electricity, heat or hot water. AgSTAR provides information and tools to assist producers in the evaluation and implementation of these systems. AgSTAR is a collaborative effort of EPA, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the U.S. Department of Energy. Collaborates with the Global Methane Initiative (GMI) - a partnership that aims to reduce global methane emissions and advance the abatement, recovery and use of methane as a valuable clean energy source. | |Description=AgSTAR is an outreach program designed to reduce methane emissions from livestock waste management operations by promoting the use of biogas recovery systems.
