Cow Manure May Fuel Cars
Cow manure, agricultural crop wastes or municipal sewage could produce a clean, environmentally friendly form of natural gas to fuel cars. Biogas is methane extracted from organic sources such as a cow manure, treated to remove impurities and then liquefied or compressed as a gas. California-Sweden Biogas Initiative, a venture between CalStart, a Pasadena nonprofit that promotes advanced transportation technologies, and the Swedish group Business Region Goteborg is testing the fuel, the Los Angeles Times reports. In Sweden, biogas has been used in cars and commercial trucks for several years.
