Project to turn human waste into gas energy

‘Poo Power’ – A £4.3 million project to turn human waste into gas energy has been launched in Manchester, UK and could be ready by 2011 according to a report in the Metro.

The biogas byproduct of sewage treatment could be enough to power 5 000 homes. United Utilities is said to have secured government funding to provide human waste gas energy to the people of Manchester. Bio-methane can be compressed for use in vehicles or injected in the gas grid. If funding could be secured, this is the type of project that could help in Zimbabwe. Especially at a time the government is strugling to raise money to pay fower electricity imports.
