Using faecal sludge (FS) as a fuel to provide energy for industry processes could help to solve both the sanitation challenge and reliance on unsustainable or expensive fossil fuels. This research aimed at testing the viability of using FS as a solid fuel - an end use that could unlock an environmentally and financially beneficial replacement for costly, disposal-oriented FS management solutions. To determine the average calorific value of FS, samples were collected from sanitation systems in Kampala, Uganda and were tested for calorific value, total solids, total volatile solids, moisture...
