Reports say Minnesota turkey farmer John Zimmerman will try using turkey droppings as a fuel in an experimental gasifier unit developed by the University of Minnesota.
Zimmerman plans to heat both his turkey barns with the new gasifier, which smolders manure to produce gases that are burned for heat. The burned remains, biochar, will be used to amend the farm’s soil.
Xcel Energy is providing funding for the experiment.
