Looks like the 5h1t has hit the fan.

From the BBC» (British Broadcasting Corporation - home page):

Quote
Bristol's 'poo bus' plan goes down the pan

The gas produced by Bristol sewage treatment works in Avonmouth, run by Wessex Water's renewable energy company GENeco, is now instead injected into the national gas network.



So as I thought, it wasn't run on poo, but on methane. With the injection of this greenhouse gas into the national gas supply, the same reduction in discharge of methane into the air has been achieved at a much smaller cost. Expensive publicity stunts won't solve any problems.
