Yes, yes, you heard that right. The view we can’t wait to flush is actually visible.It can direct the energy of the future.

Bride, Turning feces into a power source Let’s see how it is possible.

Surprisingly, human and animal feces produce a valuable edible resource that can be used to provide power and heat.

New bowel movements; It also contains the raw materials needed for the production of energy, heat and methane gas. However, it is obviously not possible to obtain a power source by setting fire to excrement or a mountain of manure.

To benefit from feces as an energy source, you must first the separation and collection of sewage from the sewage water in the treatment plant must.

Then the feces become contaminated with some microorganisms that eat the feces in an oxygen-free tank with complex carbon-based molecules must be set.

These molecules found in the feces are from methane, a carbon-based molecule that contains some carbon dioxide It is released as a gas.

Interestingly, more than half of the stool volume turns into gas.

The remaining parts that microorganisms cannot break down are solid waste. In addition, methane Because it is a potent greenhouse gas, most plants burn it and is converted into carbon dioxide, which is only 5% as potent as a greenhouse gas.

On the other hand, some countries have begun to set up the infrastructure needed to convert animal waste into methane. Some organizations are sell it at a profit and use it themselves to reduce energy costs busy.

Moreover, with this potential fecal force, In addition, it is possible to produce enough electricity for more than 13 million households per year.In summary, if we stop wasting waste and start working by embracing this power of excrement, great sources of power will await us.
