They are talking about the amount of wastewater treated, which could include household waste as well as waste from commercial and industrial operations, and stormwater (in older systems with combined storm and sanitary sewers).

Basically its stating that I produce ~40,000 gallons a year of waste(12.5t/360m)…and each of those gallons could produce ~8 watts(100/(60/5)…
Believe it or not, the 40k of water sounds about right but the actual “solids” are probably closer to 200 gallons(way over estimating;-)
The end result is that they are off by a factor of 1 thousand and probably much more….

The worlds energy infrastructure needs to change. We are in this together.
