ecomike...i appreciate your posts!
Some follow up info on the fuel cell aspect of energy from gases.

"Fuel cells are fast replacing reciprocating engines and gas turbines as the most environmentally-friendly sources of on-site power.

Carbonate fuel cell power plants can utilize many fuel sources, including:

Natural gas
Industrial and municipal wastewater treatment gas
Propane
Coal gas

FuelCell Energy has operated Direct FuelCell® (DFC®) stacks of varying sizes on all of these fuels. This fuel flexibility presents specific customers with attractive, value-added self-generation options. For instance, the methane produced in the anaerobic digester process can fuel the DFC plant and generate electricity, thus making the fuel cell a renewable energy source."
