Scientists collect human waste sample into energy-rich syngas

Scientists Vjekoslav Majetić (Left) and his research director collect a sample of fecal sludge at Zagreb's municopal waste facility to test how their machine perform in turning human waste into energy-rich syngas.

The gas contains approximately 50% carbon and 50% hydrogen, a highly-explosive element gaining traction in the energy world as the emission-free "fuel of the future”.

The machine uses a rotating oven to gasify waste. Jets of water pummell the gas in a cylindrical washer, giving out purified syngas.

Majetić invented the machine and hired Maljković to develop its applications.
