First poo-powered bus hits the roads in UK :- London: The UK's first bus powered entirely by human and food waste has gone into service between Bristol and Bath.
Engineers believe the bus could provide a sustainable way of fuelling public transport - cutting emissions in polluted towns and cities.
The 40-seater Bio-Bus, which runs on gas generated through the treatment of sewage and food waste that's unfit for human consumption, helps to improve urban air quality as it produces fewer emissions than traditional diesel engines.
Running on waste products that are both renewable and sustainable, the bus can travel up to 300km on a full tank of gas generated at Bristol sewage treatment works - a plant run by the company GENeco.
GENeco claim to be the first company in the UK to start injecting gas generated from food waste and sewage into the national gas grid network and at the same time installing a gas refuelling plant for the bus.
