I have been looking into this for production of methane from chicken and rabbit poo very exciting posibilities to be able to run your cooking heating and
electrical needs from byproducts of food production who cares about peak oil
because ive got all the manure i need.

That can only work in the smaller towns were the city council minds there own dam business.


That will never fly in the cities

the cities is where this could be well utilised human poo can be turned to methane just as well as cow poo and will cut down on stink and provide
a good natural fertaliser.

We cant use human feces because we ingest too many phramacueticals they show up in our waste.

Too dangerous.

The pioneers on the wagon trains coming across country built their fires out of buffalo "chips" (old poo patties that had dried in the sun.) Worked well for them.

BTW, it was the women's job to gather the patties as they WALKED across the country. The men sometimes walked along side the wagon holding the reins, and sometimes rode, but the women never rode unless they were too sick to walk. Then when they camped for the night, the women built the fire, cooked the meals, did the dishes, tended the children, mended, hauled water, did laundry, nursed the sick/wounded, baked bread, churned the butter (those who were lucky enough to have milk cows with them), made up the beds for the night, repacked the beds in the morning, etc. etc. etc. It's amazing that so many of them survived the trip.:36_1_32v:

Thats the whole concept is that it would help to reduce our wast to usefull and safe products.If Vicoden etc byproducts are what you are worried about
the methane can be utilised in generators for electricity instead of home
heating and cooking. the byproduct of this is a much safer than the original
waste.

Biogas is already a well-known and used source of fuel. Google it, or "anaerobic digesters". Nothing will be in your methane except methane. The slurry left behind is what contains any junk. Disposing of that is your only problem. I have 3 plants running on cow slurry at the minute - heating entire farms. They spread the "used" slurry on the land, as it is actually better as a fertiliser than raw slurry.
