Engineer: We can use food waste to generate electricity

[Manuel]

Through innovative biogas technology, zero emission bioreactors at specially constructed plants treat the cassava waste and produce biogas which drives microturbines for low cost, safe and reliable off-grid efficient lighting to thousands of rural homes.

Using this method, Adelegan says he hopes to generate 200kw daily, which will provide basic electricity for more than 2000 households initially.

He told CNN: "There will be four lighting points in their homes. We're thinking in terms of basic lighting, they will be able to use their TV, cassette player, that sort of thing, but it will not be able to power a refrigerator.

Dude,

This is an old subject.
Methane gas is being trapped and used to power electric plants NOW!

The energy industry is several years ahead of these politicians, reporters and environmentalists.
