- •
On dry basis, typical human faeces contain 83 wt.% organic fraction and 17 wt.% ash.
- •
The LHV of dry human faeces ranged from 19 to 22 MJ/kg, values similar to wood biomass.
- •
Syngas from dry human faeces had LHV of 15–17 MJ/kg at equivalence ratio of ∼0.31.
- •
Energy is best recovered from moist human faeces at equivalence ratio above 0.6.
- •
Recoverable exergy potential from moist human faeces can be up to 15 MJ/kg.
