Coffee Powered Vehicles...intriguing

A newsworthy, interesting and somewhat disturbing tidbit from The Harvard Business Review Daily Stat...okay disturbing in the fact of how much coffee is consumed.  Gives the next cup an new outlook!

Coffee-Powered Vehicles? 

Coffee grounds could be an inexpensive source of biodiesel, according to a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. Spent coffee grounds contain 11%-20% oil. (Other major sources of biodiesel are rapeseed oil, palm oil, and soybean oil.) The more than 7.2 million tons of coffee produced each year could yield about 340 million gallons of biodiesel.  SOURCE: guardian.co.uk
