When the tide comes in, anaerobic bacteria, which need no oxygen, go to work.
Instead, unwanted food is donated or sent to anaerobic digestion plants to convert the material into biogas.
Anaerobic exercise (weight or strength training) helps form bone density and builds muscle that more efficiently burns calories.
An anaerobic digester has also been built on the farm as an alternative way of generating income from waste.

The anaerobic digester would have used 10, 000 tonnes of locally-grown maize to produce methane gas to convert into electricity.
Then anaerobic bacteria take that nitrate and turn it into harmless nitrogen gas.
Prince Charles visited the anaerobic digester and biomethane plant in Martinstown, near Dorchester, after opening a ward at the town's hospital.
First, the hog waste is placed in an anaerobic digester, which contains bacteria that consume the manure and release methane gas.
The system also works better than an alternative approach to creating electricity from wastewater, based on anaerobic digestion that produces methane.
It is also developing an anaerobic digester that acts like a giant cow stomach, creating biogas from solid food and plant waste.
The method uses biogas, which is produced when waste water sludge is broken down by microbes in a process known as anaerobic digestion.
Methane is the final product of the anaerobic metabolic pathway of clostridium bacteria breaking down organic matter in the absence of oxygen, primarily cellulose.
FORBES: How Could You Possibly Have A Problem With Diesel-Based Gas Fracking?
In an off-grid village in India, for example, biogas from an anaerobic digester could be burned to drive the Stirling engine to generate power.
The result is a a perfect biomechanical package for endurance running but a disaster for sports that require anaerobic bursts, like sprinting or soccer.

We have used anaerobic digestion to treat sewage over 100 years.

He admits that anaerobic digesters and composting are well understood technologies.
FORBES: Renewable Energy Firm Harvest Power Raises $52 Million To Turn Waste Into Fuel
Harvest Power is currently in the process of building two large anaerobic digestion facilities, one in Richmond, outside Vancouver, Canada and the other in London, Ontario.

The water is combined is an air tight chamber with anaerobic digesters (bacteria) which take out about 70% of the bad stuff out of the water.
The brothers power their farm and cheese factory using an anaerobic digestion system, which turns organic waste into fuel, and cuts down on greenhouse gas emissions.
Glendullan is to have a new bio-power plant for anaerobic digestion of distillery waste, and there is to be a new still-house at Mortlach distillery in Dufftown.
In an oxygen-free (anaerobic) environment at a certain temperature, pH and salinity, the bacteria can produce a toxin that in very small amounts can cause life-threatening paralysis.
FORBES: Prisoners Making Hooch: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
As a fuel cell, it also needs fuel to run, in this case natural gas or another source of methane (such as landfill gas or biogas from anaerobic digesters).
FORBES: The Economics of Bloom Energy's 'Breakthrough' Fuel Cell
We design and manufacturer something called an anaerobic digester.
Anaerobic microbes--bacteria that live without oxygen--were generating the methane.
He said it was possible to reach a 25% renewable energy target but would need anaerobic digestion to get beyond this, something that could result in an 10% increase in bills by 2020.
The authority said at the time its challenge was not undertaken lightly because it believed the anaerobic digester was the first on this scale to be approved in any UK national park under farm diversification policies.
It develops anaerobic digesters that convert organic waste into biogas used to generate electricity, heat, natural gas and motor vehicle fuel (CNG). quasar already operates eight facilities in Ohio, and several more are in process in the Buckeye State and elsewhere.
It is safe to say some of the guys enjoyed it more than others as Wayne "Steve Redgrave" Sprangle and Liam "Mr Anaerobic" Gibson can testify with both of them, to many of the boys' delight, examining their breakfast for the second time that day.
Using so-called anaerobic digestion, ExoGen aims to make wastewater treatment for industry and agriculture much more efficient by creating a significant amount of energy throwing off electrons and methane gas during the treatment process that partially offsets the energy required to treat the wastewater.
FORBES: Will Cambrian Innovation Revolutionize Waste Water Treatment?
The answer that B9 is proposing is a coastal cargo ship that combines massive carbon-fibre DynaRig sails - such as those used on the superyacht, the Maltese Falcon - with an engine that runs on bio-gas made from food waste using a process called anaerobic digestion.
