Abstract
, the per capita cost of sanitation can be further reduced by 44 and 40% for the source-separated and mixed excreta scenarios, respectively. Overall, our results demonstrate that pyrolysis-based OP technology can provide low-cost, low-GHG fecal sludge treatment while reducing global sanitation gaps.
