Methane From Chicken Droppings And Charcoal From Sawdust Hailed In BC
British Columbia researchers turn chicken manure into methane and sawdust into clean charcoal. In Abbotsford, Neil Anderson receives an eight thousand dollar OFY grant for continuous methane production from poultry waste. At UBC, Alan McIntyre develops a cheaper pollution free charcoal method based on revived older research. Anderson reports sixty pounds of manure yields about one gallon of gasoline while McIntyre sees potential for on site production for mills and barbecues.
