Abstract

Abstract:-Nigeria's expanding need for electricity has necessitated a review of all available electricity producing methods, particularly renewable ones. It is well known that a significant byproduct of anaerobic digestion of human waste is methane gas, which can be burned to produce power. This study gives a clearly stated approach to the process of estimating the amount of power that can be generated from a specific volume of human waste. This essay offers a clearly thought-out method for calculating how much electricity may be produced from a given volume of human feces. The Federal University of Technology, Owerri's analysis of data from a student residence pit toilet reveals that the case study area's daily biomass waste availability is 3.66 tonnes, and the bimonthly biogas accruable is 154.76 kg, enough to power a 5 KW biogas generator for six (6) days. Keywords: Solid Waste, Human Waste, Bio-Gas and Electric Power
