Coffee Powered Cars Coming Soon

By Ajinkya

Scientists have found out there is roughly 53.3 years of oil left in the world after which, we will be in huge crisis. The human mind is very powerful and when there is a need it can create anything it wants. As the saying goes 'Necessity Is The Mother Of All Inventions'.

A group of scientists have found an ingenious way to use coffee to produce biofuel. You don't have to worry there will be no shortage of drinking coffee as the scientists will use waste and not the bean before being grounded. The waste from coffee beans will be used to power vehicles.

The University of Bath Scientists have experimented with coffee from over 20 different regions. They tried decaffeinated as well as caffeinated forms of coffee. They also put into experiment different blends such as Arabica and Robusta and all had the possibility to be used as alternate fuels.

coffee to power vehicles

Most coffee shops produce over ten kilograms of coffee waste and scientists have confirmed that is sufficient to produce approximately two litres of sustainable fuel. According to researchers every year roughly eight million tonnes of coffee is exported. From which, biofuel could be created for a sustainable future.

Scientists explain that current biofuel is specifically made in laboratories and use some amount of oil. By using coffee bean waste we are utilising a waste product to create biofuel. They also believe it won't be sufficient to power every vehicle on earth, however, it will be sufficient for every coffee shop to run their own vehicle on it.

We need to find more innovative ways like using coffee ground waste to produce sustainable fuels. We had earlier reported scientists have found a way to use ammonia to power vehicles. Ammonia is available in abundance and is a potential fuel for future vehicles too.
