By separating the organic matter, and letting it rot in an airtight environment to produce methane, which is used as a fuel. The dry desidue is then burned and the heat from this can also be harnessed. Its being done successfully near my home in large plastic lined pits, and the main reason is to prevent contamination of the water table.
When garbage decomposes, methane gas is produced. Methane Gas is very similar to Natural Gas.

∙ 11y agoAnimal dung biodegrading anaerobically (without air) produces methane. This can be captured and burned to generate electricity in a gas-fired power plant. The carbon dioxide it releases is part of the carbon cycle, so it does not contribute to global warming.
Burning fossil fuel natural gas (also methane) releases carbon dioxide that has been held underground for millions of years. So this adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere causing global warming and climate change.

How a machine transforms energy into waste energy?
A machine transforms energy into waste energy in that the motor is moving fast and the waste energy is produced.
What is waste thermal energy?
Waste thermal energy refers to thermal energy caused by friction. It usually a waste product that results when energy changes form or performs work.
The least useable form of energy is?
The form of energy is that is least useable is heat. Heat is normally a waste product, that is released when other form of energy are used.
What type of energy is the most used?
in the whole world i believe it is the human (and animal) energy - mostly in agriculture
What w is energy that is not useful?
Waste energy.
Is animal waste an alternative energy source?
yes
Is animal waste a fossil fuel or an alternative energy source?
An alternative energy source. Most solid animal waste has a high methane content (especially if cows are considered). If there was an effective way to siphon out the methane from the remainder of the waste, that methane could be used in place of natural gas. However, with current technology, animal waste is not a useful source of energy.
What kind of energy is in the food and animal waste that enters a methane digester?
Chemical energy
What are the advantages of using animal waste as an energy source?
There are many advantages to using animal waste as an energy source. The most obvious advantage being that it is freely available.
How does energy used animal?
The energy used by animal by bringing oxygen to the animal. The energy makes the food grow for the animal to eat By:Crystal Chen
When a rabbit eats lettuce in your garden all of the energy in the lettuce is used by the rabbit?
No. The rabbit only uses a fraction of of the energy. As a general rule of thumb, 90% of the energy in an animal's food goes to waste.
What is the difference between biofuel and biogas?
Biomass is the combination of animal waste or dung, crop wastes or agricultural waste. While biofuel is the fuel or energy produced by using crop waste, the product is ethanol which is used as a fuel. Biogas is methane which is produced by fermentation of animal dung in the fermenter or biogas plant.
What is waste to energy conversion?
Waste to Energy Conversion is when you take waste (the combustible parts of household garbage, for example, that cannot be otherwise recycled) and burn it to run an electricity generator. Then you have used waste to make energy.
What is the difference between Biomass Biofuel and Biogas?
Biomass is the combination of animal waste or dung, crop wastes or agricultural waste. While biofuel is the fuel or energy produced by using crop waste, the product is ethanol which is used as a fuel. Biogas is methane which is produced by fermentation of animal dung in the fermenter or biogas plant.
What do you call animal waste used on land as a fertiliser?
manure.
What would an animal do without its cell's?
it would not be able to functionlike store food and waste or energy
What is defined as watee used as an energy source?
Using water as an energy source makes it a form of renewable energy. Using waste as an energy source is also renewable as the waste is being recycled.
