Wow. What an interesting article. I've got some questions. What were they doing with the thrashed can before? How much hydrocarbon is produced when it is incinerated in the cauldrons. The 1500 liters to produce 1 kg seems a bit high. I wonder what, all in all that includes to make up 1500 liters. I wonder if there are any other byproducts that could be made with the thrash. Perhaps some high fibre peat fertilizer or even so type of tinctures that can be fermented, refined or perhaps distilled. What a great new venture. I wish them lots of luck. Just keep foreign investment out of the country. Next thing you know, they force you to give up your resources in exchange democracy.
