In
a first, waste coffee grounds will be used to make biofuels to power
some of London's buses from today, according to a media report. A
biofuel created by blending oil extracted from coffee waste with
diesel is to be added to the public transport fuel supply, BBC
reported. Technology firm bio-bean says it has produced enough coffee
oil to power one bus for a year. Transport for London (TfL) has
increasingly turned to using biofuels to reduce transport emissions.
Biofuel made using waste products such as cooking oil and tallow from
meat processing is already used in many of the capital's 9,500 buses,
the report said. However, this is thought to be the first time a
coffee- derived biofuel has been added to London's public transport
system. Londoners create 200,000 tonnes of coffee waste a year,
according to bio-bean. The company takes the used grounds from coffee
shops and instant coffee factories, and extracts oil from it in its
factory. This is then processed into a blended B20 biofuel. Buses can
be powered using the fuel without the need for modification, it said.
The firm believes it would take just over 2.55 million cups of coffee
to create the enough biofuel to run a London bus for a year once the
oil has been blended with diesel. Six-thousand litres of coffee oil
have been produced so far. "It's a great example of what can be
done when we start to reimagine waste as an untapped resource,"
bio-bean founder Arthur Kay said.
