Electricity from Cow Poop!

Wow, Brothers Kevin and Daryl Maas of Washington State are working on producing electricity from cow poop!

How cool is that?

I think the world is changing and it’s a great thing when you can produce electricity from some excess animal waste.

We use a proven, commercialized technology called a manure digester to harvest methane gas from manure. We burn the methane to create electricity, while sending the processed manure back to the farmers as an organic fertilizer now free of pathogens and odor.
