A Stanford-led research team has developed a system that converts human urine into fertilizer using solar power. The prototype offers a sustainable solution for sanitation, agriculture, and energy ...

A research team from Stanford University has developed a prototype that uses solar energy to extract nutrients from human urine to create a sustainable fertilizer. They presented the system in ...

Bacterial communities in soil are as resilient to human urine as synthetic fertilizers -- making recycling the bodily fluid as a fertilizer for agricultural crops a viable proposition. Bacterial ...

A newly developed system transforms human waste into a powerful tool for profitable and sustainable energy and agriculture in resource-limited regions. The prototype, outlined in a Stanford-led study ...

The growing need for food has led to a rising demand for fertilizers—especially nitrogen. But making nitrogen fertilizers uses large amounts of fossil fuels, including natural gas, coal, and oil.

Researchers from the University of Birmingham found that applying stored human urine as fertilizer has minimal negative effects on soil bacterial communities, making it a viable alternative to ...

Researchers have developed two unique energy-efficient and cost-effective systems that use urea found in urine and wastewater to generate hydrogen. The unique systems reveal new pathways to ...

Bacterial communities in soil are as resilient to human urine as synthetic fertilisers – making recycling the bodily fluid as a fertiliser for agricultural crops a viable proposition, according to a ...
