Here is the news from 2016 came across.
“The American laboratory PNNL has found a way to produce up to 30 million barrels of bioorganic crude oil a year from the 128 billion liters of sewage that Americans produce every day. „
The process looks like this.
"For hydrothermal liquefaction, untreated wastewater is placed in a reactor, which is a balloon, where special conditions are created - pressure up to 204 atmospheres and a temperature of about 349 ° C - similar to geological processes."
They also say that when pumping out old toilets, the lower layers suspiciously resemble oil …
It turns out that oil, like gas, is formed from organic waste. All this seeps into the ground, "wanders" there and produces oil and gas. Accordingly, as long as there is organic life on this planet, while they are born, die, go to the toilet, plants grow and die, oil and gas will be formed.
Undoubtedly, the question remains in the speed of its formation. However, this is clearly not centuries. How many years have there been hysteria about the end of oil and gas reserves? How much is it mined? And if it is renewable, then why hysteria? Maybe in order to constantly raise prices? Selling to us consumers essentially recycled umm … recycled organics?

In general, as always, there is something to think about.
