Researchers at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have developed a groundbreaking solar-powered method to transform sewage sludge into green hydrogen and single-cell protein for animal feed. Addressing the challenges of managing waste and generating sustainable resources, the innovative process integrates mechanical, chemical, and biological techniques. By mechanically breaking down the sludge, separating heavy metals, and using a solar-powered electrochemical process, the method efficiently converts organic materials into valuable products like acetic acid and hydrogen gas. Light-activated bacteria are then introduced to produce single-cell protein for animal feed. Lab tests have shown high organic carbon recovery rates and significant reductions in carbon emissions and energy use compared to traditional methods. The process not only provides clean energy but also contributes to a circular economy, offering a greener future. While the new method shows promise, further research is needed to scale up the process and address challenges in cost and system complexity in wastewater treatment facilities.
