Theoretical Evaluation of the Potential of Human Waste for Household Electrification

Fecal Sludge Recycling to Useful Products: Environmental Concerns, Viability and Potential

“…As estimated by Ali ( 2019), a refugee camp containing 10 million people can output 388.8 billion kcal energy or 0.0927 billion kWh electricity. In that case, around 7 billion people in the world right now, can produce near 14 million tonnes of feces daily and invariably leads to the generation of 160,000 MW of energy (Haruna et al, 2016). Based on this merit, the same author reports a plan to realize 500 kW from each of the 20 installed HE power generating plants in Rwanda at prisons, to take advantage of thousands of prisoners sentenced for massacres.…”

“…Shedrack Despite the fact that nutrient/fuel prices, project lifetime and transport distances are factors that may influence the smooth running of the process, biogas systems are highly profitable (Schroeder, 2011). According to studies, if all HE produced around the corners of the world are channeled into biogas production, then between $1.6-9.5 billion would be realized, in addition to an amount of electricity that is sufficient for 138 million homes (Haruna et al, 2016;Tu, 2018). Also, the absence of enough electric vehicle charging station in Bangladesh can be resolved by generating electricity through biogas for electric vehicles charging by employing MSW and HE (Alam et al, 2021).…”

Ultrasound assisted oxidative desulfurization of marine fuels on MoO3/Al2O3 catalyst

“…Despite an increasing number of papers regarding oxidative desulfurization in recent years, most of them focus on the ODS of model molecules and light real feeds such as low sulfur diesel [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. A recent review dedicated to oxidative desulfurization of heavy oils with sulfur content higher than 0.5 wt.% [17] showed that most of the reactions reported for these fuels were carried out using homogeneous catalysis [5,[18][19][20][21][22], in some cases assisted by ultrasounds that proved to increase the process efficiency [23][24][25].…”
