Thanks Bill. I am kind of curious about all this. I wonder what the
 world's supply of bio gas is compared to the world's supply of oil
 based on their energy potential. I'll bet it is a tiny fraction.

 Seems something like this would be practical for a large chicken
 or livestock farm. Especially if it were co-generation and/or a compound
 internal-combustion/steam-turbine engine.

You sort of hit it on the head,

The main problem with biogas is collecting the biomass, therefore you want to
apply it in a location where you have LOTS of biomass already being collected
for some other reason, i.e. a feedlot of some kind.  Still capital intensive
to install, and requires maintainence.  Some have been successful, but
require some care and feeding.
