Dhaka, Oct. 11 -- Researchers at Khulna University of Engineering & Technology (KUET) have unlocked the potential to produce fuel oil, coal, and liquid fertilizer from human waste.

With their developed technology, it is possible to process one ton of human waste to produce approximately 60 to 70 liters of fuel oil and 45 to 50 kilograms of coal. The researchers also stated that liquid fertilizer can be produced through the same process by recovering nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic components from the waste followed by necessary purification.

The research team claims that no part of the waste remains unusable in this technology. As a result, alongside human waste management, opportunities are being created for the production of energy ...
