Pig Poop Power - a QUEST Nebraska feature
Ғылым және технология
Farm animals are generating power in rural Dodge, Nebraska. Hog farmer Danny Kluthe is using the poop from his 7,500 pigs to convert hog waste into methane that creates electricity for Kluthe's home...and nearly 40 other homes. Kluthe's success is due to a device called a methane digester.

It's very interesting to see farmers actually talking about renewable energy.
This should be used Worldwide !!! Help sharing the video :)
very very smart farmer..
Why not tap in to sewer systems and septic tanks?
Great work!
Really interesting,i wonder where all this is now in 2018 and why more farmers are not doing this?

Cows as well.
reminds me of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
Keep up the good work, and thank you
1st I want to say, fantastic video. Secondly, does anyone know what is the best manure for smaller farms. I have no desire to have that large of a farm but I do have rabbits, a few hogs, chickens, and some goats. I could get excited if this would work as well for rabbits as I could have a large number of rabbits with the space I have. (22 acres) Lastly, do you offer tours of your farm. I live close enough to make a day trip.

cow manure, the digester was built to mimic the natural cow stomach

You can use any manure.

Typically any manure should work. Though in practice pig & poultry manures aren’t actually the best due to high amounts of nitrogen. Here in Europe they are mixed with other organic materials such as grass silage or food waste. There are AD plants operating in Europe now that ‘scrub’ the gas & inject it into the public gas network. That’s usually more profitable than generating electricity
