In Nigeria, we’ve figured out how to turn waste matter into electricity…

Awesome stuff… Too technical for me, but if science is your thing, you can read the full thing here, for everyone else, here is an excerpt:

Olatubosun Obayomi Adeleke reports on his progress in converting a septic tank into a biogas reactor at a guest house in Abuja, Nigeria. The major idea and inspiration of this effort is that septic tanks can be converted over to bioreactors for a very minimum cost in Nigeria to provide energy and fertilizer for the gardens.

The focus of the project is to demonstrate how a biogas facility can be developed using local organic waste to produce electricity. This innovative project if developed into a best practice could potentially be a low cost way to increase power reliability in regions like Nigeria where power outages are an common event.

Now if this can be deployed effectively, PHCN would become obsolete ;-)
