First of all, Welcome to international course in Master of Science in Industrial Ecology and Environment, Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, Mahidol University.
I develop this webblog for the students to learn and share their ideas about environmental science. Moreover, this space will be shared for enhancing the knowledge and experiences among classmates and lecturers.
I hope all of you will learn from discussion. Don't forget to shoot for at least 1 post and at least two comments every week.
Hi all,
ReplyDeleteIt was nice having our first ENV science class in the actual class :). I came across this article here: http://green.yahoo.com/blog/ecogeek/1380/forget-wave-power-google-and-others-may-use-poo-power-for-data-centers.html;_ylt=Asf3IDAxViV9fpFueyP.eautV8cX
I think this could be applied in Thailand very easily, with local technologies. I would think it would be useful to place it near farms, and then the electricity could be used by the local communities. The heat then could be used by local industries, or even farms that produce dairy products, such as milk, cheese, etc., as they need hot water. Also, this way we would reduce CO2 emission from cows, and improve soil quality. What do you think? Any comment is welcome.

ReplyDeleteDear All,
ReplyDeleteThe cocept is very interesting. It is using natural resources and energy to be efficeincy. This concept will bring thai comunity to be social responding.
In my opinion, this concept is as same as industrial park. Waste of production and services will benefit with other areas, factory, and communities.
However, at the moment most people try to create the alternative energy, if we lack of equity toward people and society, the choice will be nothing.
Thank you for the nice article from Green Yahoo!
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking of a close-loop livestock for quite a while. Recycling cow scat may be the answer of the present close-loop livestock. It is efficient and very creative.
However, the CO2 from cow fart is still a question in my mind, since it is also the cause of great amount of CO2. Therefore, I do not know that recycling scat would close this loop.
Fart, in my opinion, is poisonous due to the food animals consume. Would this problem be eliminated if we research and find food that does not cause bad gas while farting?
