Fuel From Pig Manure
 Now, it truly is bodily function week, because reader Rick Markey insisted we share this tidbit about a technology that aims to turn pig manure into fuel.
According to the Salt Lake Tribune, "Manure from 25 sewer lagoons at Circle Four will be piped into one of four concentrators where 85 percent of the solids floating in the manure will be captured and then moved to an oxygen-free digester. here, methane will be released from the solids by carbon-chewing bacteria stimulated by an environment kept at 95 degrees. The gaseous methane is then turned into liquid methanol using a thermocatalytic reaction that heats the methane to 200 degrees."
Oink!
