Dirty Deeds Lead to Renewable Energy

Energy
Renewable energy comes in various different forms – through wind, sunlight, water and more. With the global industry relying on renewable energy now more than ever in their quest for a carbon-reduced world, the engineering of these new, sustainable energy forms is becoming more diverse and more innovative.
One such innovation, however, really takes the ‘clean’ out of clean energy. Chinese engineers are pioneering and implementing the world’s first large scale sewerage geothermal technology.
Developed by Jin Da Di Energy Engineering & Technology Co. in Tianjin China, this renewable energy source relies on heat harvested by sewerage in order to create energy. The actual process involves the implementation of pipes, which divert waste water flow into a heat extractor, which is then used to heat and cool buildings.
The practice, which is already being used in China as a part of the heating and cooling equipment in various developments, is now finding popularity in the US, where it is being taken up by NovaThermal Energy LLC, a Philadelphia-based company who have obtained the exclusive license to use sewerage geothermal technology outside of China.
The company expects to see the same environmental results in the city of Philadelphia as other renewable energies have provided in cities worldwide.
“It’s just like geothermal energy, but we’re using a different well source, so to speak,” says NovaThermal chief executive Elinor Haider....
