First an internet search engine... Now pig sh**?

Is there no end to the power that is google? Clearly there is and that is why they are investing in pig poo power (say that really fast 100 times without dying of lack of oxygen or boredom). As seen in this article.




The technology is simple, decompose the poo to produce methane (our favourite gas after oxygen and helium... *squeeeek!*) and then burn this highly potent GHG to produce heat to boil water to produce steam to turn a turbine to produce electricity! Loads of to-s!


Get this... it will produce enough to power an amazing 35 homes! That's right 3...5...! To be fair 1 american home is practically 20 European homes... WIN.


Highlighting the offsetting equivalent, the effect of 900 cars have been taken of the roads (and are now in China...lol!) no in all seriousness it shows the GHG producing potential of livestock.
