Eine grosse Molkerei in der Ukraine produziert seine Energie durch die Gülle der 4.000 eigenene Kühe. Und diese produzieren gar derart viel Gülle, bzw. Energie, dass die Molkerei den Stromüberschuss an eine Stromfirma verkauft:

The combined heat and power (CHP) plant–the first biogas cogeneration plant in the Ukraine–has successfully been powering the Ukraine Milk Company’s factory for 9 months with 625 kW of electricity and 686 kW of thermal output. That’s enough to fully power the factory and sell energy back to the grid. The advantages of using poop power are threefold: UMC improves its factory efficiency, cuts down on greenhouse gas emissions, and keeps excess manure out of the waste stream. After UMC’s manure goes through its biogas plant, leftovers can be used as agricultural fertilizer.
