Japan's new biogas plant will be fuelled by 250 metric tons of cow manure every day

A Canadian company has teamed up with the renewable energy arm of Japanese property group Toyo to build one of Japan’s biggest plants to convert cow manure into power, the latest effort to fight the potent effects of methane on global warming.

The facility will anaerobically digest about 250 metric tons of cow manure a day and generate about 1.2 megawatts of energy from biogas, enough to power about 2,200 homes a year, according to Anaergia Inc.

Only if you use Vegan waste.
Mix diet reduce methane from normal human waste vs cows.

Guess we finally found good use for a vegan... feed them salad and lock them up in the crapper.

 

[R13...]

That's a lot of **** for relatively little power output. does Japan produce that much crap or are they importing it? Didn't think they'd have that much of a cow industry to produce so much ****.

There is SO much free space at our Parliament buildings. Build these suckers, pipe in the political crap, and Hey Presto! No more load shedding!

1.2 megawatts of energy from biogas

That is pathetic. The manure would likely be better used as fertiliser. A single wind turbine can generate 1.8MW with far less effort.

The end product is fertiliser.

Hmm, good point. Still the amount of energy isn't much.

I had a brain fart there. A few more of those and I could get my house off load shedding.
