The bus (pictured above) is an A4 bus service from Bristol to Bath in the United Kingdom which runs on human poop and food waste. It is the first of It's kind to show that human waste can be a valuable source of green energy. However, started regular service on Monday, Nov. 24.
It is an eco-friendly bus powered by biomethane gas, generated through the treatment of sewage by GENeco Company. With a full tank, the bus can travel up to 186 miles, while producing up to 30% fewer emissions compared to diesel-powered buses. The bus is expected to carry around 10,000 passengers a month between the Bristol airport and the historic town of Bath.
You don't need to worry about any smelly fumes...Lol..(read more after the cut to find out how)...
Speaking about the poop and food waste powered bus, Mohammed Saddiq from GENeco said: "The bus is powered by people living in the local area, including quite possibly those on the bus itself. One person's annual waste could power the bus for around 37 miles. And Biomethane gas is generated from sewage using bacteria that breaks down bio-waste into methane and carbon dioxide. Throughout the process, all impurities are removed to produce odor-free emissions."
Experts estimate that biomethane produced from sewage could replace around 10% of the U.K.'s domestic gas needs if the nation's waste is used at full capacity. Hope the third world countries like Nigeria can tap into source energy production?
