Energy from Weeds and Wastes

Water hyacinth, (weeds that clog major waterways) restricting boat traffic are held in check in a lagoon by careful harvesting. Biogas plants use these dried plants as raw materials.

Capturing this energy storehouse from woods, crops, algae, animal and human wastes, or sewage creates an infinitely renewable fuel supply.

Reprocessed living matter yields liquid and gaseous fuels, and petrochemical substitutes. It also solves waste disposal and restricts pollution.
