An automobile
powered by manure may prove that Biogas technology can help save our planet. Christopher Maltin,
whose company manufactures Biogas, is convinced that use of the fuel will change the world.
"This is the fuel of the future," says Maltin. "This gives you fuel which you can make locally, with security of supply. It is not a fossil fuel that comes from Saudi Arabia or Russia or anywhere abroad. It is without a doubt the most environmentally-friendly fuel available to man."
Human sewage and animal dung are major sources of methane, a gas that is 21 times worse than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas, according to Maltin, who also pioneered lead-free gasoline. Biogas takes the crap that we all dump and turns it into a cheap, clean, renewable fuel that helps reduce the greenhouse effect.
Best of all, the fuel burns cleanly --
without leaving an odor. How do PoopReporters feel about putting a turd in their tank?
