Biogas: Human waste turned into clean power in Cameroon innovative clean energy project - TomoNews

BUEA, CAMEROON - Two towns in Cameroon have installed biogas systems to turn human waste into sustainable energy that can provide fuel and electricity for local communities.
The project was initiated by Bioenergy-Cameroon, a non-governmental youth organization. Local students, especially female students, are trained on how to install and maintain innovative technology systems such as solar power and biogas mechanisms.
According to Reuters, the system includes a septic tank, which is connected to a bio-digester at individual households. Human waste placed in the septic tank is converted into biogas inside the bio-digesters, which release energy into people’s homes for cooking and lighting.
Reuters reports that more than 3,000 households and local schools in the towns of Buea and Bamenda have installed the biogas system. The Center for Environment and Development, an NGO in Cameroon, estimates that the biogas project may reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the vicinity by up to 60 percent.

handling a bucket full of shit with no gloves????!!!!!! wtf

[@GuardianDiancie]

David Basset i know its gross but, maybe they can't afford it

[@urmum7461]

David Basset lmao like they give a fuck

[@hyunki94]

David Basset That's what they called A Shitty Business.

[@CyberRacer]

David Basset leave the gloves , no masks to cover the diseases 😷

[@mirrorflame1988]

Thats animal waste - most probably cow or buffalo dung so not that much of an issue. Since time immemorial people in farms have handled cattle dung without much protection and/or trouble with diseases. It's human waste that's truly dangerous followed by pig waste.

[@ireiannamcallister5892]

We should do this instead of letting it flow into the ocean n whatnot...

[@creedman1540]

Thank you

[@plejaren1]

You could have it connected to a 'natural toilet' that way it automatically goes into the biogas digester. That's what I would do.

[@rastwet]

It's like cooking on fart

[@abby-a]

wow it's gross but impressive

[@ohhmydanzi]

😭😭😭

[@avarussurava9488]

Very innovative indeed, as long as they get their power and heat I don't see the harm

[@henrynyirenda3804]

This is so amazing and this should be taught to developed countries who are at the bottom level in as far as sustainable development is concerned.Good ideas which turns wastes that could have been disposed into useful like this must be taught to the most remote villagers who depend on woods as their source of energy

[@bigbean4403]

good for them.

[@f.e.areproduce5298]

Good to hear such news .

[@insanegamer223]

Would Diarrhea be good thing in this case then ?

[@agboreno9324]

🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲!! I'm proud of my people but how TF did we even come up with this 'shit'

[@MyGUNZ123]

the americans basicly did it

[@Cerberus984]

+Charles Eno You would think they would focus on proper sanitation and public health safety first vs shit energy.

[@hyunki94]

Charles Eno : one day one of your ppl was just taking a shit and he thought : hey, what happened if I put this corn dog of mine in the washer? And that's pretty much how it started.

[@commandoslayer]

Progress at its best.

[@christiangab1227]

Thank you for sharing how to turn human wastes into bio gas you are truly awesome and wonderful ^^

[@philliptura5872]

That's a very nice idea

[@BanfilaBianca]

Good one for Cameroon considering how expensive gas is in bamenda.8000 FRS for a bottle when gas is cheap.please inform us on how much it can take to have small plants at home.long live this organisation

[@highvoltage816]

It's December people Happy Christmas to everyone

[@hyunki94]

A meeting in Toyota's headquarter _ Alright gentlemen, we need a new strategy for our new eco-friendly, power-saving products. Anyone have any idea or solution? _ Jeff : Sir, how about some shit-driven cars? Jeff were fired that day. R.I.P.

[@sabitriadhikari4973]

[@2cents2]

[@E02Gir]

I smell Back to the future

[@alanaweaver8942]

They could have installed a squat toilet and have water tower nearby to assist with flushing solids down the drain.

[@josiahhenrict9298]

Might work. Just... Not gonna touch the waste.

[@bsfbestshortfilmsonyoutube]

with all the children they produce they will never be short of poops

[@meowskull]

I wouldn't cook anything with someone's shit.

[@sketchyskateboardingasmr6531]

thats because you dont understand science

[@hyunki94]

meowskull I bet you cooked some shitty meals before so what's the harm?

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

natural gas is methane. Probably a few billion people cook with natural gas.

[@akastenas]

Lidl employees in Africa seem to be involved in many useful things. (See the T-shirt). All in all this is all neat idea. Just please use gloves.

[@theynish]

[@candyazz28]

Why especially female students get trained in tech? You do know that if you don't teach the males this will go to waste.

[@tobbenjees941]

TJ B i think thats sexist.

[@candyazz28]

Tobben Jees I know. I've been saying that for a while now on this whole female empowerment while leaving the young males to fend for themselves on the streets movement.
