Have you ever thought what
to do with the dregs from your coffee machine – well entrepreneur Arthur Kay
does.
With the increase in
coffee shops and household coffee makers available Arthur can but the ground
coffee remnants to good use, his company bio bean is able to turn the waste
into bio fuel, that has the potential to be able to supple the energy needs for
households and industry.
Products produced are
1. ‘Biomass pellets’ from
waste coffee grounds.
These carbon neutral, advanced biofuels
are used for heating buildings, thus displacing fossil fuels.
2. ‘Coffee Logs™’ Carbon neutral biomass briquettes from waste coffee
grounds
Can fuel homes and appliances such
as wood fired stoves, chimeneas and BBQs.
According to Kay, the
London coffee industry alone creates over 200,000 tonnes of waste every year,
so why not use that waste to good use.
