Submission Statement: The global urban population is expected to grow by 2.5 billion people by 2050. This rapid urbanization, coupled with industrial expansion, will lead to a significant increase in sewage sludge production. This process may help manage.
“…The process begins by mechanically breaking down the sewage sludge. A chemical treatment separates harmful heavy metals from organic materials, including proteins and carbohydrates.
Next, a solar-powered electrochemical process uses specialized electrodes to transform the organic materials into valuable products, such as acetic acid, a key ingredient for food and pharmaceutical industries, and hydrogen gas, a clean energy source.
Finally, light-activated bacteria are introduced to the processed liquid stream. These bacteria convert nutrients into single-cell proteins suitable for animal feed…”
The poor are going to wind up eating this literal sh1t. Calling it now.
The Current Administration: “STFU and come up with ways to use more coal!”
“coming up next in late stage capitalism: delicious edible human faeces”
Now in science news. Billionaires have finally found a solution to make the poor literally eat shit. Thanks will be expected in a 4 bullet point e mail to usda.gov.
Chinese and Indian street food been doing this for years. Nothing new.
Was not expecting “nutritious” to be in there. OMG.
Soylent green is poople!!!!
Wow the cynicism in this thread is palpable. Converting waste into valuable and useful products is the cornerstone of sustainability. Wastewater treatment is the scientific advancement that made modern society possible. Combining these two things is also absolutely necessary for colonizing space.
I know that the shit going on right now is difficult to handle, but please remember how important it is for us to see scientific advancement that will lead to a better future as a light of hope in these dark times.
