Fuel From House Refuse In Great Britain
J. A. Priestly, president of the London conference of the Institute of Clearing Superintendents, states that Great Britain's annual house refuse of about 10,000,000 tons could yield 8,000,000 tons of fuel without touching 3 to 4 million tons of fertilizer content. The fuel content equals roughly one tenth of the country's domestic coal use, and even with its smaller calorific value, utilization would save the nation significant resources.
