Buses run by cafe fuel
A UK startup has been working with Shell and Argent Energy to produce biofuels from coffee used in diesel buses in London.
A UK startup has been working with Shell and Argent Energy to create a café, used in diesel buses at Lon Don.
The company has produced 6,000 liters of coffee oil for the pilot project, enough for a city bus to run for a year. Arthur Kay, creator of startup bio-bean , said that this is a great example of what can be done when re-imagining waste as an undiscovered resource.

Startup collects coffee grounds from coffee shops, restaurants, factories and transfers to recycling facilities. Here, the residue is dried / dried before extracting the coffee oil. Then, the coffee bean is mixed with other fuels to produce biofuel B20 , which can be used in diesel buses without modification.
On the website, the company writes: Energy-rich coffees , containing many valuable compounds, turn them into an ideal source for producing clean fuels. Bio-bean estimates that the British emit 500,000 croissants each year, most of which are dumped into landfills, causing harmful greenhouse gases.
In addition, startup also sells "firewood" to replace the wood firewood. At present, there is no formal agreement to allow for continued use of London coffee, but bio-bean hopes to find new markets and applications soon. The potential market for this project is the United States, which consumes the planet's largest coffee with 400 million cups of coffee a day.
