Gas From Manure:

This reminded me during my childhood, small farm's are encouraged to build their own Bio-Manure Gas for home cooking...

A plan to convert large quantities of manure into natural gas and sell it over pipelines is materializing.

Microgy plans to start operating its first two thermophilic digesters--large, heated vats in which microbes turn manure into fuel--in its Huckabay, Texas, facility next month, according to a company representative.

The digesters extract biogas, a mixture of carbon dioxide and methane, from manure. Biogas can be used locally to run generators and farm equipment, but by burning off the carbon dioxide (about a third of the overall gas content), natural gas is created that can be shipped through a pipeline.

The company has already installed digesters at farms in Wisconsin, but the majority of gas created there gets consumed by local farmers. The coming Huckabay Ridge plant is another beast entirely.
