Poo-Powered Bus Takes To The Streets Tn Britain

Buses now run on poo in Great Britain. The sewage company behind
Britain's first ever poo-powered Bio-Bus said the vehicle can run up
to 186 miles on one tank of fuel from food and human waste. UPI has
more.

GENeco, a subsidiary of Wessex Water, said the fuel for the 40-seat
Bio-Bus is produced at the Bristol sewage treatment works, where human
waste and food unfit for consumption are put through a process to
create biomethane.

Mohammed Saddiq, general manager of GENeco, said the company is also
producing biomethane for the country's natural gas network.

"Through treating sewage and food that's unfit for human consumption
we're able to produce enough biomethane to provide a significant
supply of gas to the national gas network that's capable of powering
almost 8,500 homes as well as fueling the Bio-Bus."

It takes the annual waste from about five people to create one tank of
biomethane for the bus, officials said.

The Bath Bus Company is running the Bio-Bus on the 20-mile A4 route
between Bath, England, and the airport in Bristol, England.
