English Club Indonesia says:

Brewtoleum is made from brew grain waste. Slurry is sometimes used for livestock feed on farms. Biofuel production is a more feasible use for beer waste. I think the world should be getting serious about electric batteries as an alternative power source, as they are cheaper and cleaner.

1. Petroleum products are fuels made from crude oil and hydrocarbons contained in natural gas. Petroleum products can also be made from coal, natural gas, and biomass.

2. Slurry is created from cow manure and water and provides a fantastic, natural fertiliser that farmers can use to encourage the growth of grass and other crops. It is usually stored in a slurry tank or lagoon before it is applied to farmland as fertiliser
