Hi Operator,
Compost also gives off a lot of heat energy. There's a town in the UK that tap gas off of rubbish dumps.
"Surprisingly, we hear more about wind turbines than we do about biomass, which includes the use of methane gas generated by land fill sites (rubbish dumps) to drive electricity generating equipment. Currently more electricity is generated from this source of energy than wind. However there is a down-side; the gas engines that drive the generators produce some carbon dioxide gas, but using methane gas in this way prevents it from escaping and contributing to global warming."

In fact it's a form of solar energy as well. Plants grow by receiving sunlight. You subtract energy by burning the bio-mass.
