Any data or thoughts on this? We are doing a really cool zoo
project, and we will be testing a number of animal wastes, one being
Elefant (hippo also included).
Work has been done on this by researchers working at the Toronto,
Denver and Portland OR zoos, among others.
I know of at least three freely available papers that bear (pun
intended) on the issue (as previously):
"Energy Production from Zoo Animal Wastes", Klasson and
Nghiem, 2003 (poster here
<http://www.ornl.gov/sci/eere/PDFs/Zoodoopost.pdf>, paper here
<http://www.rhinoresourcecenter.com/pdf_files/123/1238059703.pdf>)
"Biogas from elephant dung: a means of mitigating
human-elephant conflict", Wijeyamohan (here
<http://www.asesg.org/PDFfiles/Gajah/22-62-Wijeyamohan.pdf>)
"Biogas as Renewable Energy from Organic Wastes", Karki et al
(here <http://www.eolss.net/Sample-Chapters/C17/E6-58-09-10.pdf>)
And another, hard to find on-line:
"Biogas Production from Elephant Dung at the National Elephant
Institute Project", by The National Elephant Institute (Thailand)
