Answer 2

You might look at the website of a company called Environmental Power and their subsidiary which makes anaerobic digesters for getting methane from manure and other biowaste, which is then used to generate power.

Here's what they do.

"Wild Rose Dairy in Webster Township, WI is home to an innovative renewable energy facility powered by cow manure and other organic waste. The farm is home to 900 dairy cows, and an on-site anaerobic digester creates methane-rich biogas from their waste, which is used to generate 750 kilowatts of electricity per hour—enough to power 600 local homes 24/7."

"Environmental Power’s Huckabay Ridge is the largest renewable natural gas plant in North America, if not the world. Huckabay Ridge generates methane-rich biogas from manure and other agricultural waste, conditions it to natural gas standards and distributes it through a commercial pipeline. The purified biogas, called RNG®, is generated by Environmental Power’s subsidiary, Microgy, and is a branded, renewable, pipeline quality methane product."

"The gas produced by Huckabay will be shipped via the Enterprise natural gas pipeline to the Lower Colorado River Authority, which has agreed to purchase the RNG® output of up to 2,000 mmbtu per day through September 2008, pursuant to a purchase agreement. Beginning October 2008, the plant output will be sold to Pacific Gas & Electric under a 10 year agreement"

"Anaerobic digestion is a biochemical process in which microbes break down organic material in an environment devoid of oxygen. Within a digestion tank, wastes decompose over time into a variety of products, including biogas rich in methane (i.e., natural gas). This renewable-source gas can then be used for numerous applications, including the direct sale of biogas or pipeline-grade methane, for thermal energy or for the generation of electricity. Other by-products from the digestion process, including fertilizer, bedding and mulches, can be sold into their respective local markets."
