Can't be very helpful here, but I understand methane
digestors are typically large and produce small
amounts of gas, enough for cooking. New work
appearing on the net about feeding oil press cake and
other feedstocks which appear to increase gas
production significantly.

Consider an oxygen cylinder or a compressed natural
gas cylinder, but forget the fridge compressor idea.
The seals and mechanics are not designed to withstand
40 atm's, and the seals will probably quickly leak or
worse (explode).
I have seen on the net a small 50 atm pump that looks
like a bicycle hand pump, used for compressing air
into paint ball cylinders. These are available in all
sizes and prices and motorized.
