various biomass generation schemes - most notably and successfully with
generating methane gas from a simple digester. It would seem that grass
clippings would be very easily utilized in this manner.

waste
dumps for methane gas, using it to drive a large turbine generator. They=
have
been using this setup for at least five years with a considerable savings=
in
their utility bills. I do wish some one would start making and marketing=
