Yes, a useful discussion. There is info around, but I don't have it to hand. Someone needs to do a collection and compiling job, but I guess it's not going to be me - I'm still trying to compile and organize biogas resources, which I promised to do, but it keeps getting shoved onto the back burner, like much else. I'll get there I suppose, but probably not much with solar energy. Anyone doing this, or anything near it?
