<div dir="auto">This looks promising but sewage sludge is not likely to work well as water source, it could perhaps work as a carbon source but I can't in anyway see how contaminated water would do well in your steamgenerator. <div dir="auto">Anyway the base assumption of using excess solar energy to generate syngas do not need anything like sewage water to be of interest. It is a good start even if you assume that it is a finicky bastard operation that requires clean water for steam and a carbon source (waste) that has been sorted to remove PVC etc uncooperative materials. </div><div dir="auto">If the syngas can be transformed into methane and/or some liquid petrol lookalike that is an enormous upgrade to what's otherwise an rather unremarkable fuel for heating something. </div><div dir="auto">That's probably the limiting factor, can we produce more heat that generate electricity than just burning the waste neet?</div><div dir="auto">If so we are in business, otherwise not so much. </div><div dir="auto">Can we produce methan/syn-avgas to a competitive price compared to getting it from a at the moment rather smoky middle east? Then we are in business there too. </div><div dir="auto">If the peace talks is sabotaged, then this will probably become all to cost effective :(</div><div dir="auto">/Henrik </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">Den tis 7 apr. 2026 01:41ilsa via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> skrev:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div>Can you send it to me in text I can't open the packet you sent me</div><div><br></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><font color="#ffffff"><font color="#ff0000">Ilsa Bartlett</font></font><div><font color="#ffffff"><font color="#ff0000"><font color="#3333ff">Institute for Rewiring the System</font></font></font><br><a href="http://ilsabartlett.wordpress.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">http://ilsabartlett.wordpress.com</a><br></div><div><a href="http://www.google.com/profiles/ilsa.bartlett" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">http://www.google.com/profiles/ilsa.bartlett</a><br><a href="http://www.hotlux.com/angel.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">www.hotlux.com/angel</a><br><br>"Don't ever get so big or important that you can not hear and listen to every other person."<br>-John Coltrane</div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Apr 6, 2026, 10:11 AM Keith Henson via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">I realize this is not strongly related to power satellites, except as<br>

This is directly related to the current energy crisis, since it is a<br>
way to make liquid fuels from any carbon source and renewable energy.<br>
(It does need some scrap iron in the feed for the metal pool at the<br>
bottom of the gasifier.)<br>
<br>
I could use two things. Contacts with chemical engineers and anyone<br>
who could give me a recommendation to arXiv, so I could post the<br>
attachment where it can be cited. Any help or suggestions are highly<br>
appreciated.<br>
