Japanese Make Gasoline From Cattle Dung -- By KOZO MIZOGUCHI,
Associated Press Writer Fri Mar 3, 8:37 PM ET

TOKYO - Scientists in energy-poor Japan said Friday they have found a
new source of gasoline — cattle dung.

Sakae Shibusawa, an agriculture engineering professor at the Tokyo
University of Agriculture and Technology, said his team has
successfully extracted .042 ounces of gasoline from every 3.5 ounces
of cow dung by applying high pressure and heat.

"The new technology will be a boon for livestock breeders" to reduce
the burden of disposing of large amounts of waste, Shibusawa said.

About 551,155 tons of cattle dung are produced each year in Japan, he
said.

Gasoline extracted from cow dung is unheard of, said Tomiaki Tamura,
an official of the Natural Resources and Energy Agency. Japan relies
almost totally on imports for its oil and gasoline needs.

The team, helped by staff from the National Institute of Advanced
Industrial Science and Technology near Tokyo, produced gasoline by
adding several unspecified metal catalysts to the dung inside a
container and applying a 30-atmosphere pressure and heat of up to 300
degrees Celsius (572 Fahrenheit), Shibusawa said. Details of the
catalysts could not be disclosed, he added.

The team hopes to improve the technology so that it can be used
commercially within five years, Shibusawa said.

In a separate experiment revealing another unusual business potential
for cow dung, another group of researchers has successfully extracted
an aromatic ingredient of vanilla from cattle dung, said Miki Tsuruta,
a Sekisui Chemical Co. spokeswoman. The extracted ingredient,
vanillin, can be used as fragrance in shampoo and candles, she said.

Tsuruta said the vanillin was extracted from a dung solution in a
pressurized cooker in a project co-organized by a Japanese medical
research institute.

We have to hook up Resident Bush's mouth to these scientists' machine.
It's about time dubya was good for something.

Does human dung have similar potential?

4/100 ths of an ounce from 3.5 ounces, and 30-atmosphere pressure and heat of
up to 300 degrees Celsius (572 Fahrenheit) doesn't seem to be very efficient.

If you posted it, it's definitely bull****.

I agree, the energy required to extract the fuel may well exceed the
amount of energy extracted.

This is true, I have been using my own **** to power my car for the last 10
years. DuuHHH!

Of course now your Fiat smells like a used honey bucket.

If it came from your mouth or the mouth of someone you would cite, then
it is total and complete bull****.

Oh, well, atleast they will have an endless supply of "raw material,"
from your breath!
