Soon to be running on meat waste: A Stagecoach bus on London Bridge A third of London’s buses will run on fuel made from meat from next year, transport bosses have revealed.
By March, 3,000 of the capital’s 8,900 buses will use B20 green diesel, which is blended with waste from the meat industry.Animal fat and cooking oil are among the ingredients that will be churned into the bus fuel.The buses are all owned by Stagecoach and Metroline, while the diesel will be supplied by Argent EnergyMore than 640 buses already run on the modified fuel as part of a two-month trial.Deputy mayor for environment and energy Matthew Pencharz said the development would “slash the overall carbon emissions of the fleet and make use of fuels that would otherwise be clogging up our drains”.
