Another conversion of waste to fuel example

A Swift & Co. beef-processing plant in Grand Island, Neb., will be fueled in part by converting meatpacking waste into methane gas, company officials said Thursday.
The world's second-largest processor of fresh beef and pork said a subsidiary of New Hampshire-based Environmental Power Corp. will build two 1.2 million-gallon anaerobic digesters that will consume animal waste and meat-processing waste to produce the equivalent of about 1.8 million gallons of heating oil.

Microgy Inc. will own and operate the biofuels plant and sell the gas to Swift under a 15-year gas-purchase agreement.
