nope, the flame consumes everything.

it's a very old idea too.  before there was natural gas, every city
had its gasworks...  that's why residential gas pressure is so low now.

it's a good idea though, not least because it'd help dispose of all
that farm/feedlot waste - the leftover sludge is a great safe
fertilizer.  ever heard of milorganite?

it's still possible to buy power-generation diesels set up to run on
'digester gas'.  put them next to the waste treatment plant,
greenhouses next to them to use the 'waste' heat and fertilizer...
cheap power and fresh local produce all winter!
