Mistake in this sentence

Hello guys,
I need help for this sentence:

The innovative energy production system / required only some very basic equipment / and the dung from four cows / to product enough energy to run a small farm.

The last part of the sentence is wrong, where is the mistake?

Thanks a lot!

Luka Pavlovic where is the mistake? In the first two words of that segment. You can't have an infinitive that consists of "to" and a noun.

Sorry, I don't get it... isn't "product" a verb also?
If not, what would be the verb?

No. You produce a product. The action is 'to produce'. The result is 'the product'.

These factories produce a million cars every year.
Cars are the product of the work of these factories.
