Would wastes and water be a good source for electricity?

Humans generate lots of daily wastes harming the environment. Our research is on building a hydrolysis system transforming all wastes to energy in a clean, gas free technology.

Problem

Oil will possibly run out in roughly 65 years, many countries already don't have much electricity to use. But-if oil does run out, many things will go wrong. We won't have gas to power cars, no electricity, and much more. How can we stop this from happening? By finding a solution as soon as possible.

Method

To find out the answer to this, we need to get a method down so we can understand what we need to solve. First, we can find out different reactions that would be able to provide electricity with water, and waste. Once we know that, we can do as much reaserch as possible to find out which one would work the best and is good economic and price-wise.

Research

In order to do proper research, we need to know what hydrolysis is. Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction when mostly water is used to break down one big molecule into a bunch of tiny ones, generating heat. Mixing Hydrolisis with waste and bruning it would be a great way to get a reaction that would generate electricity. A great type of waste to use would be chemicals, such as paint. This will give the reaction we need generating as much heat and electricity as possible, even though this electricity might not be as fast as modern electricity, it still works out fine.

Data

With all the reaserch we've done so far, it's very clear that using waste and water to make a chemical reaction that could produce electricity is a great option. And with future technology, it might become even faster then we ever thought it would be. Then again, in present-time we dont have the technology to make this electricity without harming the enviroment. But in 60 years, i'm sure they'll have something.

Conclusion

If we take up all the reaserch and data we've done, we come to a clear conclusion that we won't need to solve this problem at the moment, but it definently will be a big problem in the far future. And Hydrolisis is a great chemical reaction that can get the job done effiecently.
