Back in the past – new technology used for new type of fuel is old from centuries

Fuel was always a big problem for the world. The first type of fuel was the combustion of wood or sticks, after fuels derived from plants or animal fat were the only ones available for human use. By the 19th century, gas extracted from coal was being used for street lighting and in the 20th century, the primary use of coal is for the generation of electricity. Where is the problem here? The resources are running out. Researchers have discovered that old techniques might save the world from a crisis situation. The Greenland shark, Somniosus microcephalus, is a large shark native to the waters of the North Atlantic Ocean around Greenland and Iceland. Even the species are rare, sharks are often caught with other fish. The meat of those sharks is poisonous, but is proved that the meat is mixed with macro seaweeds and sewage water to create biomass. The Greenland shark will be the next potential fuel, a source of biofuel for Eskimos. The Arctic Technology Center, ARTEC, made investigations of the organic waste having revealed a high content of fat and protein, which are thought to be good sources of energy. The Uammannak habitants already started to pay the fishers who bring sharks for fuel. They will have a great advantage because they will not depend anymore on centralized energy supply. Maybe this is the only way to protect our world from greenhouse gases and the resource exhaustion. Will the humanity decrease the evolution scale? Maybe researchers can get answers on such questions too.
