Manure may light up your life
CANADA - Various agencies, including the government of Canada, Alberta Research Council, Highland Feeders Ltd. and its subsidiary, Highmark Renewables, hope to begin turning cattle manure into energy by June 2004.
The Integrated Manure Utilization System seeks to process the "high-solid" manure typical of most North American feedlots into fertilizer and reusable water, while capturing the methane gas that gets released in the process.
