Electrical Generation from Biogas

Generating electricity from biogas is not difficult, judging by the experience in China and even Brazil, keeping in mind that one cannot get anything from nothing.  If one has a 100kw generator, then we should have the right number of a particular livestock and the right size of digester with the right ambient temperature. In China, there are many big farms and industries self-sufficient in fertilizers and/or energy, with one or more digesters of up to 2,000m3 capacity.  The biggest one so far is 8,000m3.
