Perhaps some math is in order.

We use over one gallon of gasoline per person each day in the US. How much fuel do you suspect there is in a daily dump?

We do need to get methane digesters on our sewage treatment plants. No sense in wasting that fuel.

When someone figures out how to convert human waste into gasoline, we
won’t need the arab oil anymore. Prices of gas would decrease substantially, America can power up on people poop. Hey, everyone has to go to the bathroom at sometime.

This is a great idea. Very glad to see the progress made over the last ten years! I would like to see use in the power industry. Great opportunities are opening up for export along the Pacific Rim and even in the U.S. with new mandates.

Thanks,
Greg

5,000 barrels of crude a year is not very much. Even if it is only one farm. Why not use existing technology from the cow power mentioned in the article. New technology to make a small amount of oil and later maybe diesel or expand use of existing technology to increase renewable component of the power grid. 2nd choice seems like a slam dunk.

While I think this is great, in bio fuels made from kitchen oil people say the cars smell like french fries. Did the reasearchers work on the end use odor?

Is SBM a public company? If yes please send the stock Symbol.

Thanks

“Thunderdome”

Aunty Entity and Master already knew this would work…

“In Bartertown, electricity, vehicles, functioning technology—all almost unheard of in this post-apocalyptic world—are made possible by a crude methane refinery, fueled by pig’s feces, using a weathered semi tractor as the electricity generator.”
