There’s a new buzz powering public buses in London.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

British startup bio-bean has partnered with Shell (RDSB) and Argent Energy to create a coffee-based biofuel that will be used in London’s diesel buses.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The company has produced 6,000 liters of coffee oil for the pilot project with London’s transportation authority — enough to help power the equivalent of one city bus for a year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“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 in a statement.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The startup collects used coffee grounds from cafes, restaurants and factories, and transports them to its recycling facility. There, the grounds are dried before coffee oil is extracted.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The coffee oil is then blended with other fuels to create B20 biofuel, which can be used in diesel buses without modification.<\/p>\n

“Spent coffee grounds are highly calorific and contain valuable compounds, making them an ideal feedstock from which to produce clean fuels,” the company says on its website.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bio-bean estimates that Britain produces 500,000 tonnes of coffee grounds a year, most of which are discarded in landfills where they can emit harmful greenhouse gases.<\/p>\n

The company also sells “coffee logs,” which are used in fireplaces and stoves as an alternative to wooden logs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bio-bean said there is “no formal agreement” to continue using its coffee oil in London, but it hopes to quickly find new markets and applications.<\/p>\n

“There is huge potential for this project to expand in the U.S., which drinks the most coffee on the planet, 400 million cups of per day,” the company said in a written statement.<\/p>\n
