Piracy will stop, eventually. One way or another.
What, and we'll go back to the good old days when nobody ever took anything that wasn't theirs?

From Article
The pellets are dropped into the aforementioned downdraft gasifier, which breaks them down under high heat into a mix of methane, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and nitrogen. Finally, this "syngas" is sucked into a generator or microturbine to make electricity, or piped to a furnace to make heat.
The summary has the idea that carbon monoxide is NOT an green house gas. While, this might be true the gas is then burned which should result in carbon dioxide.
Moreover, the methane will produce carbon dioxide on burning, and the oxides of nitrogen are either greenhouse gases or toxic. TFA might be glossing over a couple of things. Processing waste is a good thing, but no magic bullet.
IIRC Angband bots did that.
And they still do. The Angband borg and screensaver is available at http://itctel.com/~apwhite/andrew.html
