Hello Li, I don't want to discouraged you but this is not a well developed field. Litter gasification is something I have worked on some, though the project is on hold due to a lack of funding. www.lostriverfarms.com Gasification or pyrolysis is a good option though I would not rule out digestion. One of the main drawbacks to digestion is the lack of methagans in the litter. At Lost River Farms we successfully produced burnable gas (however somewhat low btu content) that could be used in a boiler. The key is automation of the perimeters that produces this gas as it is not cost effective for most farmers to hire someone to run the process. Because this process is somewhat complex it appears that the few companies that have worked on these projects end up scaleing their units fairly large so as to bring in litter from surrounding farms rather than developing their units for individual farm use.
