25. You start with waste biomass waste.
A TDP plant will process raw sewage. We spend a lot of money processing that stuff now. TDP will take raw sewage and get oil out of it, as well as carbon, pure water, & fertilizer. Depending on what is being put into it, the plant can have up 85% efficiency. That means about 15% of the energy put into the plant is used up in the process. It will also take the stuff that we throw into landfills. The plant in Carthage MO is going to take turkey guts.

I covered this in my post. Please reread the post. There is a link by another DUer that gives the article in Discover. I would recommend reading it.
