It's actually been something practised for a while.

Take forest waste (foliage, branches, plant matter) is put into a digester where bacteria decomposes it releasing methane, a hydro-carbon similar to petrol/fuel but not as dense in hydrogen-oxygen combinations. This is considered as a Brown Renewable Energy as you're still releasing carbon into the air whilst generating. (Wind turbines are a green renewable energy!)

I followed the link to biogas and read up, but I was remembering the smell of burn pits.
