The manure from one cow can provide enough fuel to heat seven houses. In the run-up to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, we are looking at unusual energy-saving initiatives.
The heat arrives, through a grate in the wall, in Carla Koelstra's home five kilometres away. "Just a push of the button and the house is warm," she says. Her children are surprised it doesn't smell: "They must use a lot of perfume on it."
As a result of the economic recession, not all the houses planned for this neighbourhood have been finished. Less than a hundred are now heated by means of biogas.
