Don't scoff - it actually was done during the gas shortages of the 1970's. It may not be politically correct these days, but it would save the world from the pollution of unused farts.

Farmers in India still do it. Have a primitive "digester" buried under ground full of food scraps and cow dung, bug a rubber inner tube over a pipe stuck in the barrel... and once the tube is inflated, you can power your tractor off of it.
Mad Max was wrong. Gangs should have been raiding settlements for their septic tanks.
