Commercial composting is a tough business, there will always be some smell
since air is important to the process. If you just piled everything up and
mixed in a bunch of wood chips there wouldn't be any smell but it needs to be
turned periodically which releases the odor...

In Indiana they were using the methane primarily for heat. However, they also
captured it and would set up a supply for their standby generator, too.
Because methane has such a lousy BTU content, like 500-600 BTU/CF, compared to
natural gas (800-900 BTU/cf) and propane (1100 BTU/cf) you would
IIRC, Tina Turner had a hog digester to run her ThunderDome way back in the
’80’s. Must have learned that from before Peak Oil and Mad Maxx. Local
County landfill became a methane harvesting operation almost 30 years ago when
it was “de-comissioned”. Not sure it makes much power, but it is

Methane digester/recovery is old tech, as Curley just suggested.
It has some inherent negatives, however:
Low BTU content
Requirement to “scrub” and dry it, as in its raw form it’s highly corrosive
I can recall working on equipment around total confinement hog operations that
did methane
Sounds like another methane digester. Nothing new there. First one I
saw in operation was 1983 on a hog farm.
Of course you have to consider the sources: Vermont pointy heads and
some moron submitting to the AP.
Actually, the Mother earph news hippies were probably building digesters

It only smells for a day or two. They spread manure on the field across the
road from my parents house. Usually it gets spread on a hot, humid day in the
middle of the summer...

That's why you tend to see them on cattle farms.The smell is, strong...
So long as you don't mind the stench as the manure is either composted or
spread raw on fields next door...

Not exactly new. 3rd world countries have been using bio-digesters for a
long time to make methane to heat with and cook with etc.
I believe some farmers have been doing it on a bigger scale locally.
