I would be interested in hearing about your research and progress. We are in a similar situation. Except we have chickens rather than rabbits and sheep/goats rather than pigs this year. We also have an unlimited supply of wood chips from the utility company clearing lines. I found this link to be interesting to get a diverse view of the choices. http://www.ees.adelaide.edu.au/pharris/biogas/PictGal.html Also wondering why you could not attach a vent/balloon/etc to a conventional septic tank to collect methane? I would think there is some there. Maybe that was mentioned a year or more ago on this list when I was considering it?
