Stirling-Motor powered with cow dung in the Technical Collection Hochhut in Frankfurt on Main. Dry dung fuel (or dry manure fuel) is animal feces that has been dried in order to be used as a fuel source. It is used in many countries. Using dry manure as a fuel source is an example of reuse of human excreta. [1]

[8] [9] In 2018, Austrian scientists offered a method of paper production from elephant and cow manure. [10]
Slash-and-burn agriculture is a farming method that involves the cutting and burning of plants in a forest or woodland to create a field called a swidden. The method begins by cutting down the trees and woody plants in an area. The downed vegetation, or "slash", is then left to dry, usually right before the rainiest part of the year.

Remove the plant and its roots from the pot, carefully clean the roots and repot the plant. [6] Fertilizer can be reintroduced slowly to allow for slow, healthy recovery. Water the plant heavily to wash the accumulation of salt away. [11] If a plant is burnt due to drought-like circumstances, the soil may be dry, and the plant will appear wilted.
Converting cow manure to fuel is a growing climate solution, but critics say communities are put at risk.
“Common sense tells us that burning trees and storing the carbon below ground isn’t going to produce ‘negative emissions’, but, just as important, international rules for counting climate ...
