British startup bio-bean has partnered with Shell and Argent Energy to create a coffee-based biofuel that will be used in London's diesel buses.

The company has produced 6,000 liters of coffee oil for the pilot project with London's transportation authority which is enough to help power the equivalent of one city bus for a year.

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.

The coffee oil which makes up 20 percent of the final fuel blend,will then be mixed with traditional diesel to create B20 biofuel, which can be used in diesel buses without any modification.

According to bio-bean, the average Londoner drinks 2.3 cups of coffee a day, translating to over 200,000 tonnes of waste a year. 

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.

This scheme is the first time Transport for London has put coffee-based biofuel in its buses,previously testing waste from cooking oils on its 9,500 buses.

Here in Nigeria, we are trying to ensure that cattle stay on our roads like London double decker and sh1t and block the entire road, while their herders go on a rampage killing.

And someone would tell you to have hope in Nigeria? Why can't we just be progressive in this nation, must everything be all about political parties, nepotism and corruption?

I frequent the politics section of NL, and in a few weeks, I became more temperamental and aggressive.
Nigeria is kinda doomed.


Anybody that can help me migrate, I am open for negotiations...

Nations of this world are advancing scientifically, they are creating solutions to their problems daily. While here in a poor West African country they do not have enough brain to produce electricity for themselves. Despite all the money invested on our electrical engineering departments from independence. All they know how to do is to be tweeting " I get First Class I nor get work" up and down. Foolish generation of vipers

No light, no solution in sight and the idiots that claim to have distinction in this field are more useless than roadside beggars seeking for aids in the filthy streets of Kafanchan Kaduna.
These people disgust me.

They know it is the end of an era and they're positioning themselves to have their share of the new renewable energy pie that's baking.

All of the big energy companies have their hands in renewable energy. It's called foresight.

The rate of technological advancement in the developed world is encouraging. This shows that they are conscious of want might threaten their future generations in terms of green house effects and global warming.

For Nigeria our development is in our hands.

Unfortunately, how many researches by our glorified professors in the tertiary institutions are being transferred to the industries for the benefit of the populace?

I think our problem is not religion but our lackadaisical attitude towards advancement in all sectors of the economy.

It begins with you and I.
