>    I am a coffee producer in Brasil. We also raise market hogs to help pay
>the bills because we don't get the three bucks you pay for your latte!
>      I see a potential in biodigestors as a source of heat to use in my
>coffee dryers. We currently use wood because my attempt to use purchased
>butane nearly broke me. If I could some how make enough gas from the
>plentiful mountain of manure we have would be great. I need about 1.5million
>KCal/hr. Is this feasible or economical? Is there some way to store methane
>or could I make enough to use in a constant flow type of setup? Answers to
>these questions could save alot of trees. The potential market for a viable
>system is BIG here. Available also are cow manure, chicken manure and sugsr
>cane refuse.
