      Currently my experiments are looking into what goes down the drain from peoples houses – so humans.

      In the past I worked on creating energy from poo in a small, rural village. Here, the human poo didn’t make enough energy so I decided to use animal poo to boost the power produced because there were many farms around.

    Hopefully one day we can use both to help us – Both human and animal faeces contain energy that we can use instead of fossil fuels and nutrients that we can use the grow our food – so why not use them, it’s better for our planet!
