The first industrial facility we surveyed was a cow barn, not just any cow barn of course; we visited the royal cow barn at the Norwegian Royal Farm in Bygdøy.
Picture 1: The Main Barn and the Surrounding Field
The main barn is 1000 m2 and houses 60 dairy cows 70 calves, in total 130 cows. These are mostly Norwegian Red cattle with a few Blacksided Trondheim and Norland Cattle added to the mix. They have plans for collecting manure in tanks to make biogas by anaerobic digestion, but there is no system yet that utilizes the methane released from cows.
Picture 2: The main cow barn, houses about 60-70 cows, part of the ventilation system that draws in surrounding outside air and mixes it with the indoor air can be seen hanging down from the roof
