electrical efficiencies in the range 18 to 30%, but higher values are possible. Heat can also be recovered, both from the exhaust gas and from the engine cooling system. • Microturbines have become a popular alternative to IC engines, due to their lighter maintenance schedule, lower noise levels and lower air emission levels. The initial cost is higher, however. • Fuel cells may be an option in the future, but costs need to come down before they become a practical alternative for farm use. • Farmers generating electricity using biogas may choose a net metering arrangement. This allows for export to the electrical grid at times when production exceeds demand on the farm. This credit is applied to those times when on-farm demand is greater than what the generator supplies, so the farmer pays for the net power consumed. For those producing more than they can use, a generator license can be obtained. References Ahring, B.K. 1994. Status on Science and Application of Thermophilic Anaerobic Digestion.
