Well in an article by James Murray Published November 26, 2012, this is precisely what Microsoft is investigating.
Microsoft to debut sewage-powered data center

With the world's leading IT companies rushing to develop renewable energy projects to power their giant data centers, Microsoft might be about to take the prize for the most unlikely clean power source – sewage.

U.S. firm FuelCell Energy this week revealed it is working with the IT giant on a trial that could see biogas from a wastewater treatment facility in Wyoming utilized by a fuel cell, providing "ultra-clean and carbon-neutral electricity" to a Microsoft data center.

Ntiokam Divine is my name and a youth advocate . I have being volunteering and still do for UNICEF Rural Voices of Youth, Global Youth Coalition on HIV and AIDS, Children of the Earth, Peace Jam Foundation , United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development Education Caucus Team and now SuSanA which I appreciate as well.

Leadership has always been my talent given by the Almighty because in some of the above mentioned initiatives I am National Focal and Youth Ambassador respectively.

I have been so much involved with Climate Change Negotiations and believe we are on a good an excellent track.

That said , I will be grateful if we join hands to make sure SuSanA is present in numbers in COP18 , Doha , Qatar by November 2012.

I will be so grateful to learn more from the various professionals on the field in order to share with my peers as well.

Reason being that CC and Energy is our main priority , I will be delighted if we could see on how to get Solar Panels or Lights for some rural communities with out electricity.

Secondly, being part of CC Negotiations, it will be great if we endeavour in near future to be fully represented since we deal mostly with remote or rural communities which are the ones really addressed in most of our programs.

Lets stand firm on our points because Rio+20 was not that good as expected and will be happy to get feed backs.



Kind regards.
