Have you heard of it, some people come up the idea to convert cow manure to methane to power a data center. It will save a lot of electricity, since a data center will needed to be powered 24/7. This is one major breakthrough if they are succeed with it.

Using manure or other biomass to produce biogas is one of the most important biomass technology available, it is not a real breakthrough because such systems are already available and work in a very reliable way. The only problem that can be found is the need to purify the syngas produced, usually those systems are grid connected, maybe they are trying to make a stand alone system but i can't see any reason to do so.
