But can you imagine your poo becoming money, especially green energy that can help get the economy moving? This is achieved by Korean scientist Cho Jae-yeon, who developed a toilet called Bee-vi that turns waste into methane.

As shown Reuters“The toilet first pumps its faeces into an underground tank, which means it uses less water right away than a conventional toilet. Then the microorganisms break down the waste into methane, a usable energy source.”

For example, a human’s poop in a day can turn into about 50 liters of methane, according to Chu. This means it can generate half a kilowatt-hour of electricity, which is enough to drive an electric car for three-quarters of a mile (about one kilometre).

“I once thought poo was dirty, but now it’s a very valuable treasure to me,” the South Korean inventor commented on this very special toilet.

But that’s not all, as Cho Jae-yeon invented a virtual currency called Ggool (honey in Korean). Each stool entering this toilet delivers 10 gul, which can be used to purchase items on the campus of Ulsan National University of Science and Technology (UNIST).
