L'utilisation des boues à des fins de production d'énergie n'est en général qu'une étape intermédiaire. Leur emploi comme combustible est excessivement rare et se limite seulement aux boues préalablement déshydratées provenant de décantation de certaines eaux très chargées en poussière de charbon [...] ou à des suspensions huileuses ou à des graisses récupérées par flottation.
