June’s Webinar – Waste to Energy
Our guest for this month’s webinar is Robert Orr of Manchester, England, who will tell us about his quest to build a facility to turn buffalo dung in Southern Pakistan into fertilizer and energy.
We are talking about a huge amount of animal waste: 400,000 dairy buffaloes confined in a small area are creating, between solids and liquids, about 8,000 tons per day. Today, most of it forms a river and flows south into the Arabian Sea, a body of water that is now so polluted that fishermen row their boats through five miles of sewage every morning before they encounter anything still alive.
I hope you’ll be able to join Robert and me for this lively presentation, Thursday, June 28, 2012 at 10 AM PDT (1 PM EDT). Robert has a refined and gentlemanly demeanor, yet carries with him a raw passion for the project, as well as perhaps a thinly disguised level of disgust and contempt that mankind has been brought to this horrific place.
He’s also a man with a plan – and by my wits, it’s a heck of a good plan at that. I hope you’ll join us. Here’s the sign-up form:

Sounds like a plan. Todays waste is tomorrows resource. With all the meat eaters this will put some power into Meat!
I can understand composting the solids for fertilizer and collecting the methane that process gives off. and the liquid is rich in urea for fertilizer and sometimes ammonia is produced which it is easy to break down into hydrogen gas and water. A lake for the water with its high nitrate content will grow algae for bio-fuel production but the volume is somewhat daunting for a farm so Robert will need a factory and a lot of acreage. Here in the States most dairies pay truckers to haul away the solids to nearby plant nurseries who compost it, mix with sand and plant plants in it in pots.
