Title: Generating Methane Gas from Manure

Authors: Charles D. Fulhage, Dennis Sievers and James R. Fischer, University of Missouri

Summary: At first glance, the idea of generating methane gas has considerable merit because it appears to offer at least a partial solution to two pressing problems — the environmental crisis and the energy shortage. Unfortunately, present-day large-scale methane generation requires rather high investments in money and management, which considerably reduces the idea's practicality. This guide is intended to provide quantitative information so that the feasibility of methane generation can be evaluated for a given situation.
