"A Sign of the Times. Sakae Shibusawa, an agriculture-engineering professor
at the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology said that his team has
successfully extracted 1.4 mL (0.042 ounces) of gasoline from every 100 g
(3.5 ounces) of cow dung by applying high pressure and heat. The new
technology could be a boon for livestock breeders in reducing the burden of
disposing of large amounts of waste, according to the researchers. "
