Toyota is using human waste to power its new electric car
Making Hydrogen from Sewage. So that could be the Big Break then?
Except that "... microorganisms break down the solid waste, creating biogas, about 60% methane and 40% carbon dioxide. Then, workers filter out the CO₂ and add water vapor, which creates hydrogen and more CO₂. They extract the CO₂ again, and voila: pure hydrogen."
Why not just stop at Methane and stick that into the gas pipeline - instead of spending more money scrubbing more CO2 out of the final process? But I'm no Chemist, maybe making Hydrogen via this route is better/more useful than making Methane?
