Turn your feces into green energy, crypto BeeVi – a portmanteau of the words bee and vision – is a rest room developed by the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, South Korea, which converts human excreta into energy. As a bonus, the rest room provides the user with a modest quantity of digital currency in return for their feces. BeeVi pumps your excreta into an underground tank, which means it uses less water straight away. Microorganisms then decompose the waste into methane, a useful energy source, which is later used to generate electricity.
