Farmyard, kitchen, slaughterhouse, garden, paper-making, food process refuse, also straw, waste paper, sugarcane bagasse, sewage solids... can be fermented anaerobically to yield biogas that contains bio-methane (bioCH₄₎ and fertilizer. Burning bioCH₄ does not add to the atmospheric CO₂ loading since the C in it came from the atmosphere in the first place. Mixed biowastes and pyrotrash (old plastics, tyres..) and other kinds of rubbish can can be burnt together to yield electricity, water, metals, but no pollution or heat quite easily. But the cartel and its dependents seem keener to cover countrysides with concrete than forests, and to produce nuclear wastes rather than to ensure that rubbish is recycled into riches without producing any pollution.

The cartel seems to be treating atmospheric CO₂ as though it were a resource to be conserved carefully. If it were sincerely concerned about reducing global warming, it would spend more of its money on disproving the Second Law rather than duping the world into believing that it was decreed by God when He created the universe. It could review the works of Torricelli, Espy and others, who knew that useful energy can be made from ambient heat, and prove that monopolizable fuels were never needed. Such leads were studiously ignored while inventors of clean, cheap energy devices were diligently suppressed or sabotaged.
