One pound of cow dung produces about one cubic foot of Biogas with a heating value of about 600-700 BTUs. Biogas can be used wherever natural gas or propane can be use with minor modification to the device. Biogas can be used in conventional gas stoves, gasoline engines and gasoline powered electrical generator (to produce electricity).
Biogas have a few other applications, if you are interested in more details google for: cow dung and poultry littler waste digesters, biogas, DIY biogas digester plans.

Thanks NotLurking,
That's what I was getting at. Are there feasable small scale applications?
