On November 30,2014, a bio-waste fuelled 40-seater bus went on its maiden journey on between Bristol and Bath in the UK for implementing measures for sustainable living.The bus runs on biomethane gas, produced from food and sewage wasteand with a full tank this bus can travel up to 300km.
company under GENeco, a subsidiary of Wessex Water, a water supply and sewerage utility company in UK understood that Through treating sewage and food which is unfit for human consumption, they will be 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 fuelling the Bio-Bus.
It claimed to be the first such project in the UK and won Travel and Transport Award at the 2010 Green Business Award.
