Japan makes good use of Cattle Dung

In Tokyo, at the University of Agriculture, professor Sakae Shibusawa succesfully came up with the method and process of extracting gasoline from cattle dung. Shibusawa extracted 1.4 ml of gasoline from cow dung, he did this by applying extreme heat and pressure. This new advancement in the gasoline industry is not only good for the gasoline consumers, but also for the cattle owners, for instance now cattle owners will no longer have to dispose of 500,000 metric tons of cattle dung a year, now they can sell it and it can be converted into gasoline. The other benefits of this discovery are it makes Japan have its own method and source for producing fuel if all goes well, because most of their oil resources come from other countries. The process that Shibusawa used to produce this gasoline was he added metal catalysts to the cattle dung and put it into a container that was then subjected to a 30 atmosphere pressure and a heat of 572 degrees Fahrenheit, which in turn produced gasoline. The last thing that was found that could be extracted from cow dung, was an aromatic version of vanilla. The vanillin ingredient can be found in candles and shampoo, this could also benefit these items. Shibusawa hopes to improve his methods for making this gasoline product and for the vanilla process, and be ready for commercial use in 5 years.
