Holy Crap! My mind is blown by another use for wastewater! First fertilizer, then beer and now this?!?
??
Have you ever pondered the fate of what is swirling down your toilet? I'm talking about the remnants from our daily business and from agricultural fields and industrial sites. Well, scientists are now transforming wastewater into jet fuel! No BS - this is amazing.?
??
Here's how: the bacteria that devour our waste don't just clean up the mess; they produce acids that can be converted to biofuels powering aircraft!?
?
Let me break it down (pun absolutely intended):?
??
So next time you find yourself cruising at 35,000 feet, your flight may be powered by waste you previously flushed. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade!?
??
I bet you didn't think I would post about 'sustainable aviation' and 'toilet humor' today. That's the kind of innovation that makes sewers sexy! Is anyone else feeling weirdly proud of their contribution to potentially cleaner skies? If you're a traveler and as thrilled about this remarkable (and slightly humorous) innovation as I am, drop a ?? in the comments!??
