"ENERGY: Engineers turn waste into electricity in Indiana project"

Environmental engineers in Indiana are engaged in a pilot program to build energy-recycling facilities that they claim will significantly lessen U.S. dependence on fossil fuels like gas and petroleum. The program aims to build a $12.5 million industrial waste conversion center, a $5.5 million hog waste conversion facility (including a 2.5-mile pipeline) and a shared methane-to-electricity conversion site. The buildings are due to be operational by 2008. The facilities will be modeled on similar efforts in Europe, where waste is already being converted to methane gas.
