Check 'methane generators/manure' for existing gas recovery/manure composting systems. Some in wisconsin and Minnesota on large dairy farms, couple others in California were profiled in farm magazine article couple years back. Gas is used to heat water and run tractors. Municipal sewer treatment plant can generate gas to run buses- India -Bombay and New Delhi- got old Chicago buses years back to use on sewer gas. Some covered lagoon systems of Chinese pattern now being used in south on large hog farms, gas is used locally as LP gas supplement- cooking, water heat, some vehicle use as in LP gas bobcat loaders. Madison ,WI landfill and sewer treatment gas recovery is piped to small generators- had a few $100, thousand in budget last year for new generators expected to last 8 to 13 years depending on rebuild. Methods exist to handle methane, the costs and uses vary depending on location. How much do people want to spend? RN.
