Galesburg, Ill. has been using methane gas from their waste treatment plant for MANY years - the gas is piped to stationary engines that pump the effluent from the sewer back up to the treatment tanks at ground level which are fitted with anaerobic covers and collect the methane for the engines and one of those engines turns a generator that powers the complex - I saw this in the '70s when the govt. was giving out grants for 'alternative energy' research and so on (like windmills built by hippies); Galesburg built there own, years before! :shock: Also, there was an engineer in India that went to work for the govt. over there. He was tasked with developing a system to provide cooking fuel for EVERY dwelling in the entire country AND it had to be readily available and of inexhaustible supply, no matter where the dwelling was located (including mud-huts in the jungle)! He came up with a septic system that was self-pressurizing and depended only on the inhabitants evacuating their bowels as usual. The gas thus generated (methane) was piped to the family cook stove and the system required little or no maintenance. He did write a book (illustrated) that gave the particulars - I don't recall the name of the book but his name was Ram Bux SINGH( - Do a Google search for ram bux singh methane for more information. 8)
