 Methane gas is produced by rotting vegetation/peat etc. and can be found in ponds, ditches, lakes, marshes and other still bodies of water. This young bloke from Arnhem has a novel method to recover and collect the gas to run his moped.

 We live in the 'motocross and farmers' area.

  Most of the intensive agriculture is to the west of us, we are still pretty rural, with dairy, hog, chicken, as well as field crops, corn, potatoes, grain, silage grown in pen fields. Here is Attenborough video link. https://youtu.be/-x60Bx10vEY
