Pig Manure Converted to Crude Oil
For now, each half-gallon (two-liter) batch of manure converts to only about 9 ounces (0.26 liter) of oil.
But Zhang believes the conversion process could eventually solve the problem of pollution and odor at modern hog farms, where farmers pay big money to get rid of the waste. And, he says, pig oil could also offer an alternative to petroleum oil.
“If 50 percent of U.S. swine farms adopted this technology, we could see a [U.S.] 1.5-billion-dollar reduction in crude oil imports every year,” Zhang said. “And swine producers could see a 10 percent increase in their income

Oil won’t last; our ingenuity to live with less of it is our test now
But the oil is running out, and the world is going to change. We can handle that change sensibly or wait for the bottom to fall out and see that change be traumatic.

China Pays a Price for Cheaper Oil
But this year, oil producers are pumping and selling all the oil they can to meet surging demand, and the extra oil they are able to bring to market is, to a great extent, high in sulfur.
