Cow Power
LCG, March 15, 2002--Energy Northwest considers manure as a viable source of electricity.The public power provider has been investigating the possibility of using methane from dairy cows to power a 3 or 4 megawatt power plant. Cows in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho may be involved with producing "biogas;" the northwest constitutes eight percent of U.S. dairy production. Right now cows can produce a little less than a third of a kilowatt per cow, although some studies report up to nine-tenths of a kilowatt. Naturally occurring bacteria produces the methane from manure and can be put to efficient use by mixing manure and water in a tank at elevated temperatures (130 F). Methane gas rises from the liquid and is ready to be combusted in a modified diesel generator. While the fuel may be free, a methane plant will cost almost three times as much per kilowatt as wind power. Energy Northwest business developer Stan Davison said that the cost is justified because manure-powered plants can operate at 90 percent, instead of the 30 percent that wind yields yearly.Energy Northwest has yet to find investors for the project.
