Turn chicken feathers into fuel!

[elephant]

We don't realize, but the chicken industry produces 11 billion tonnes of waste each year:

Hence the idea of ​​an American team to transform the feathers, offal and fat of these birds into fuel

So recently, a Nevada scientific team decided to recycle this excess… in fuel! These researchers have thus succeeded in creating a new process for the production of biodiesel from the large quantities of fat, nitrogen, and nitrogen contained in this waste transformed into animal meal. Professor Manoranjan and members of this team from the University of Nevada have also been awarded the Council for Higher Education in Collegial Affairs.

I pretty like !

The figure still surprises me enough: 7 billion tonnes is 1.57 tonnes per inhabitant of this planet. the figure of 500 million liters, on the other hand, seems more plausible.

Hee Hee Hee.

This is obviously an incorrect figure. I had seen this idiocy in the Nouvel Observateur. But as you know, there are a lot of uneducated journalists who are lost between the billions and the millions.

Consumption of chickens and poultry


The world market for chickens and poultry


Poultry is the 2nd most consumed meat in the world with 91 tonnes in 600

World production of chickens and poultry (poultry production) in 2007 was estimated by the FAO at 83,4 million tonnes.
.......

and 88 million tonnes in 2011 according to the Ministry of Agriculture.

So the 11 billion tonnes of your article is worth reading 11 million tonnes.
