The Park Spark Project in Cambridge, Mass., is home to the first anaerobic digester for dog waste in the U.S., a system Carbondale is considering.
Laurie Guevara-Stone of Carbondale-based Solar Energy International recently approached Carbondale's parks and recreation commission about installing a gas lamp in one of the city's two dog parks that would be fueled by methane from dog waste.
If the project proves feasible — and if grant funding can be obtained — it would serve as yet another renewable-energy demonstration project in green-savvy Carbondale.
