Good morning!
Thinking this might be of interest for municipalities dealing with sludge... could be pyrolyzing and distributing biochar for carbon sequestration, water conservation, and without the
toxins/pharmaceuticals that remain in sludge after conventional treatments:

Highlights
* Life cycle assessment has been performed to compare the current practice of sewage sludge treatment with alternative of pyrolysis.
* Midpoint impact assessments results have been combined with analysis of other factors such as contamination transfer risk to soil, carbon sequestration and legislative aspects.
* Avoided mineral fertilizer production shows a significant contribution to the environmental benefit of treatment methods.
* Results show that pyrolysis could be an environmental preferable treatment for sewage sludge.
* Future research should focus on innovative solutions of sewage sludge treatment which satisfy environment and human health simultaneously.
All the best,
Jill
