负责处理伦敦和泰晤士河谷地区1360万居民排泄物的该公司表示，2008年至2009年间，他们靠着焚烧水肥或从粪便中提炼出甲烷的方式，满了该地区14%的电力需求。

Energy is generated through either "thermal destruction," where dried blocks of "poo cake" are burned, or "anaerobic digestion," where the methane from sewage sludge is burned.

其发电方式有两种，一是透过焚烧干粪砖的“热解”技术，一是利用焚烧水肥所产生之甲烷的“厌氧消化”方式。

"That's good news because we treat 2.8 billion liters of sewage every day at our 349 sewage works. The solids in sewage have a high calorific content that we use to generate electricity.”

“这是个好消息，因为我们349个污水处理厂每天要处理28亿公升的水肥。污水中的固体蕴藏高热能，可以用来发电。”

Colquhoun said everyone had to muck in and urged delegates at the UN climate talks in Copenhagen to produce more than just hot air.
