Turning human waste into renewable energy explained. The first 1,000 people to use the link or my undecidedwithmattferrell will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: https://skl.sh/undecidedwithmattferrell04221 When it comes to renewable energy, solar panels, wind turbines, and hydropower keep coming up as number 1, but what about number 2? Literally. I’m talking about ... well, poop. There’s a rich, carbon-neutral resource that we could tap into: Turning human waste into energy instead of flushing it down the toilet. It could be used as a coal alternative, carbon sequestration, strengthening concrete and more. There’s an old technology, hydrothermal carbonization, that’s starting to make a splash and might change the way you think about number 2. Let’s see if we can come to a decision on turning waste into energy and if it’s worth it.

Thousands of tons are burned everyday without being used. Every waste water facility produces a ridiculous amount of gas, most simply burn it, security protocol, instead of storing it for commercial use, or using it to produce steam and generate electricity, which could be use to power the place, and most likely be sold to the grid. But we all know bigger interests don't allow competition, don't we? A byproduct which is completely free would drive the price down. Can't have that.

IF shit is cooked and dried to make sterile and parasite free bricks, it's a good SLOW burning solid fuel.... I don't know how good and slow burning it is.... But people use dried cattle shit for fuel.... But if the furnace was designed for HIGH combustion temperatures with a strong preheat of the incoming air, and after the combustion, then the heat is used to drive other process's, it can be a good thing.... BUT IF all the shit and all the food waste etc., was decomposed and heat sterilised, it would be better to use it to fertilise the farm lands instead of chemical fertilisers...
