    The concept is amazing. A little ingenuity goes a long way. Now, if only we had dog parks back here. I've heard studies regarding biogas digesters here in my country. Unfortunately, due to the lack of funding, these remarkable researchers and scientists are unable to pursue their researches here.

    I had read some news/articles how animal manure can be used as green energy source. And a farm or farms had been trying to use it already.
    Yes it will be nice if dog poops on a dog park can be used even to light a park lamp. ;)

    I've heard stories about animal feces being converted to energy, but I've never heard of it in connection with dog feces. It's creative ideas like this that will bring us into a new era.

    If this idea is financially feasible, it would be interesting to see it implemented at dog parks. They could have some sort of receptacle where you drop off your dog's waste. Then, it could be converted at that location and used on site.

    Let's see if they can come up with a car fueled by dog poop. I bet those who own large dogs would have a large supply of fuel. :D

    Ha, I didn't know anything about this. I think it's a cool idea, but like was mentioned, funding for it would be hard at this point. Maybe once the technology gets a little better, it'd be a little more practical?
