Just like liquid phase injection of LPG cars in australia should be running off liqufied natural gas, we have three plants in WA about to get another 3 plants in QLD. We have the potential to show the rest of the world how becoming green should be done! Nat gas can come from treating sewerage so that nat gas and fertiliser is the only waste product as well as old garbage dumps designed to do so. Nat gas is the natural way to carry our beloved hydrogen energy

if this became the mainstream method of waste-food management, the energy potential could be massive, that and we wouldn\'t be throwing so much waste into landfill with no benefits. This is an affordable, realistic way of generating energy from a hugely available and otherwise useless resource, not to mention being a part of the carbon cycle as it excludes reservoir carbon cources. love it

Great idea, I\'d love to have one on a scale I could use for my vehicle....

The best answer to this already exists in AlphaGen Inc. E-85 Ethanol that converts ANY biowaste to E-85 flex fuel

Isn\'t this what we have always known as a methane digester - an up scaled model of the type New Zealand aid has been helping set up in some African countries. What I don\'t understand is why this ancient technology has not been developed for more general use in the 1st world [so called] countries before this ! Is it not sophisticated enough ? There are many small methane plants in operation round the world - just the tapping into old landfill deposits is a very basic example and used in many places. However, it is wonderful to see action in this area and good to hear of the WA and QLD developments Mark.

I\'d like to see our companies build those plants here all over the U.S.A instead of depending on foreign oil.

some waste companies generate methane through household food waste,surely that could be scaled up and made more use of in the domestic fuel market for hard pressed consumers.

If they can make a profit at it I\'m all for it.
Even with the best digesters the sewage to methane ratio is fairly low but if you throw in fresh biomass (uneaten) it gets much better. How much grass clippings and other yard waste do lawn care companies have to get rid of every day?

I thank the individual has access to such a fuel making ability, Its called a \'still\'for fuel purposes one can obtain a lic. to do so..Evidently we are not totally dependent on foriegn Oil if our number 1 export is oil...

I always reckoned that if you owned a garbage tip, you stood to make a fortune.
