Methane is generated in digesters. The methane is used to fuel generators, typically driven by reciprocating engines that burn the methane. I guess you could use it to fire a boiler and generate steam, but it’s pretty low as far as BTU content so I don’t think it would be very efficient used

Anaerobic digestion produces hydrogen and methane gas. Since there is no pentacyclosiloxane in it (the stuff that makes your hair shiny in shampoo and conditioner) it can be compressed, dried, and burned in either a turbine or internal combustion engine to run a generator. Land fill methane
