Japanese biomass venture using microorganisms to tackle waste disposal - The Mainichi - eviltoast

The company supplies bacteria that can process 98 percent of organic waste into water and carbon dioxide in just 24 hours, eliminating the need to turn it into compost, which is often not put to use.

Sounds like this can be useful in big cities where there are not much green space to put compost to use.

    compost is nice, but this biomass contains a lot of stored fuel energy (carbohydrates), and I think it might be worth modifying the process to make some energy 🔥⚡ instead of giving all the carbohydrate energy to composting organisms.
