Cow dung is converted to methane gas which is used to generate electricity. See related links below for more.
The Gobar gas is made by decomposing the cow dung.
methane gas
It can be burned as fuel once all the water is squeezed out of it first. It can also be put through a fermentation process which releases lots of methane gas which is what helps produce electricity.
The plant has a dome like structure built with bricks. A slurry of cow-dung and water is made in the mixing tank from where it is fed into the digester.
how much methane gas can we get from 10 Kg cow dung.
In most Buddhist villiages, the holy sacred cow is referred to as Gaumata (cow the mother) or Aditi (mother of gods). Buddhists believe the cow is a very useful animal, having special qualities in it's milk, urine, and dung. Cow milk is considered to be easily digestable and good for mental health. Cow urine is used in many medicines curing cold, cough, headache, gastric-related problems, jaundice, prostate, leucorrhoea, tuberculosis, and even cancer. Cow dung is used to cleanse the skin from impurities, acts as a repellant from mosquitoes and other insects, and is useful in removing snake venom and all types of skin diseases completely. Cow dung is also highly anti-radioactive and protects from lightening surges. Dry dung cakes and Gobar gas (gas produced using cow dung) are used for fuel purposes. It's also used as a powerful fertilizer for agriculture.
gobar(cow dung) gas plant is a good example of scientific model with waste material.

By mixing of fresh cow dung with water and make a slurry then put it into the plant. This preparation is contineous till the tank is filled up. Then wait for 72 hours to produce gas.
Yeah, well it is made out of gas!
Gobar Gas (Methane) is generated by the de- composition of organic cow dung. It consists of 55-65% methane, 30-35% carbon dioxide, with some hydrogen, nitrogen and other traces.
