They key here is that it was dried out. Thats part of the problem with biomass producing energy. The amount of energy it takes to dry it so it can burn is greater than the energy output of the now dry mass.

If its producing methane gas, a comparable example would be the LA city or county WWTP. It produces enough methane each day that burning it through their energy plant basically allows it to be energy neutral in that it produces enough energy to offset its use of energy.

I remember watching farmers in Turkey drying cow pies on the roof of their home and every space not used for anything else. It took a long time for it to sun dry.

That’s a good question.

What does animal waste have in it that burns so well? Carbon.

And imagine all that related bovine flatulence. It doesn’t smell right. It has globull warming written all over it.

I am a bit confused. According to climate experts AOC and little Greta, cow flatulence is pushing us to destruction of the planet in barely a decade. From my experience horses are as flatulent as cows. So if we are to generate “clean” electricity from animal dung, wouldn’t the flatulence of the animals from which we harvest this dung be destructive to the climate? So is dung produced electricity actually “clean and green” or just pushing up the certain climatological apocalypse we are promised will happen in little less than a decade unless we embrace socialist fascism? We must consult little Greta for her wisdom on such matters.

If we can get this hooked up to the bathrooms in Congress, it will be like the Atomic Energy Commission’s promised utopia from the 1950’s - unlimited power, with a flat rate bill for distribution.

NYC needs to hook their city counsil to a gas grid. Energy problems solved.
