Thank you for your question, Woody! I'm sorry but I imagine that the only
bioconversion systems  ready for household use are composting devices
(composters, composting privies etc.) that don't produce methane enough
for use. Horse manure or sawdust are excellent composting media, especially
together with enough water, and they could be used for producing energy
e.g. in greenhouses.
