A bio-gas plant in an Indian town generates 3,000 watts of electricity a day-from human waste. The human waste from an area housing complex collects in a sump, where the methane gas produced by the ‘sludge’ is used to operate a generator. This biogas produces 3,000 watts of electricity daily, enough to keep the town bright at night. Sorry forgot to mention the name of the town, its Thiruneeramalai in Tamil Nadu. This is surely some stinky tech, but we can’t forget that this country has a population over 1Bn and its still developing. Sources like these will only take it higher and it’s a good sign for sure, but some people are fussy about everything (no pun intended of course).
