Have you Ever Imagined of A Poo Ride!

Did you know that human waste can be used to power a bus? well, it is real and happening!!

Britain's first bus powered by human waste Has been unveiled and it is already in business.

Bio bus running on human waste

This bus has a capacity of  40  and is  already making passengers happy.

The "Bio-Bus" is fuelled by biomethane gas generated by the treatment of sewage and food waste at a processing plant

A single tank of the gas, which is produced using the typical annual waste of five people, is enoughto power the vehicle for 190 miles.Bosses said the ground-breaking vehicle will improve air quality and proves there is value in human poo!!

The maiden voyage will see the first passengers travel on the route from Bristol Airport to the historical city of Bath, Somerset.

The annual waste of a bus-load of people would provide enough power for a return journey from  while producing less emissions than a diesel engine. 

Charlotte Morton, chief executive of eco-friendly organisation Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association, said: "The bus also learly shows that human poo and our wasted food are valuable resources.

GENeco  which is the pioneer of this project  became the first companyto start delivering gas generated from humanwaste directly to 8,300 homes by the nationalgrid.

The above technology show that every thing is possible and our country can borrow a leaf and start similar projects instead of engaging in endless politics and blame game which  is never good for development.

Did you know that:

1. A single passenger's annual food and sewage waste would fuel the Bio-Bus for 37 miles (60km)
2. Its combustion engine is similar in design to diesel equivalents in conventional buses
3. Compressed gas is stored in dome-like tanks on the roof of the Bio-BusThe gas is generated through anaerobic digestion - where oxygen starved bacteria breaks down biodegradable material to produce methane-rich biogas
4. To power a vehicle, the biogas undergoes "upgrading", where carbon dioxide is removed and propane added
5. Impurities are removed to produce virtually odour free emissions
6. Compared to conventional diesel vehicles, up to 30% less carbon dioxide is emitted
