Thanks to the growing awareness about global warming and hazards of environmental degradation, people at all level, more than ever the policy makers are understanding that in order for us to have a future we must become part of the solution to stop the process. On the other hand energy resources are finishing. That calls for alternative energy, renewable energy and opportunity fuels.
Given my interest in alternative energy, I came upon http://www.nviro.com - environmental and materials operating company, which pioneered the conversion of sewage sludge into commercial soil fertility products – and was amazed to see what they are doing in this field. N-Viro International Corporation develops and licenses its technology to municipalities and private companies. Their patented processes use lime and or mineral-rich, combustion byproducts to treat, pasteurize, immobilize and convert wastewater sludge and other bio-organic wastes into biomineral agricultural and soil-enrichment products with real market value.
Best thing is that N-Viro process is more cost effective than other options.
Because N-Viro process utilizes many waste streams in the production of a valuable product. Yard waste, leaves, alum sludge, spent lime, pulp and paper waste and food waste can all be used in the N-Viro process. By combining all these waste streams, there are considerable savings over the disposal of these materials. The cost of production declines as you include other waste streams. The economies of scale involved in the N-Viro process make it the most cost effective option for community based solutions.
Have a look at the site and see what they are to play the role in saving planet and finite sources of energy.
