In the last general elections, the National Democratic Alliance of the country used ‘India Shining’ as the caption to try and win the general elections in 2004 and basically their campaign was flushed down the drain. Maybe ‘India Pooping’ will serve the nation to shine a lot better than all those political decisions that are almost always useless. When it comes to leading the world in terms of producing fuel from poop, India leads the way. Basically the nation is now trying to use a tank that will convert human waste in to energy.
Growing up in India, Sintex is a brand name that you are very much used to. The company is so popular that over head tanks are almost called Sintex tanks by default. The company has produced a tank that will convert human waste in to energy and that gas can be used for almost any purpose. In fact, one of the nation’s small villages is already using this method to power their streetlights!
Sintex created a simple digester that can take any organic material, including agricultural waste, kitchen scraps, or cow dung, and convert it to methane, which is then moved to a storage container via small tube. From there it can be used as natural gas for everything from cocking, to boiling water and even heating your home. This is not just profitable alternate energy source but also a very nice way to make sure that villages become a lot cleaner and sanitation prevails.
The digester costs only $425 and, according to Sintex, pays for itself in less than 2 years. In fact, the device has proved so efficient, that Indian government decided to subsidize 1/3 of the cost of the units. So the basic message is pretty simple, loud and clear. It is a lot better and a lot easier to trust poop to develop your village than your elected leader. Poop is a way better way to achieve shining India than political nonsense! Now that is both eco-friendly and an eye opener!
