imports to the tune of $6 billion in
savings per year.
He said a 1400 pound dairy cow
can make 43 cubic feet of gas per
day, or $33.63 per cow in electricity
value per year.
A 900 pound steer will produce 28
feet, or $22 worth of electricity oer
year, a hog, five feet; and a laying
hen 0 36 feet, or 28 cents per bird
per year.
Although most systems
currently in use are on dairy
farms, Sheaffer said this is
because dairies are set up to
collect manure Actually, dairy
manure is one of the less efficient
biomass products to use to
generate gas
Cheese whey is the most efficient
generator of methane gas, he said,
followed by duck or other poultry
manure
He encouraged farmers with 150
or more dairy cows, or the
equivalent, to look into the
possiblity of on-farm generation of
methane to make electricity,
concluding that any excess
production could be sold to the
utilities at a profit to the farmer
