See the link above.

It seems like there would be a great opportunity in NL for biodigesters ?

Titbits
The way manure is used in NL.

I understand that most of the cow and pig shit in Holland is funneled into pits/tanks under the stalls.

This manure is allowed to cook and ferment and is then injected directly into the fields.  It goes directly to the roots of the plants and is held by the soil.
This minimizes run off and excess nitrogen pollution.

There is little smell.

Here is pic of Dutch poo injection equipment and link

This pic is from some years ago......Newer equipment combines a big balloon tyred dedicated machine with a single front wheel that can be depressurized for the soft fields, or inflated for road travel.  Very little soil compaction.

Most Dutch fields are relatively small compared to US farm fields.

 

I am checking a report of a local agro gas operation in our area.

Here is a single farm installation.  Note the combination of solar electricity and gas production on this farm.

Dutch biodigester

Well, i found that about 80 local dairy farmers from our area have formed a coop and are setting up a commercial biogas plant on an industrial estate in Varsseveld, about 3 kms from Heelweg.

Methane is produced from cow poop and it has the same properties as natural earth gas from Groningen. It is connected to the natural gas network and sold commercially.
