[Free Report] Coffee can boost not only your brain but engine
by Nitipak Ratapipat \| 10-05-2020 21:27 0
Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in this world. Have you ever imagined how many cups of coffee people around the world drink for each day? We consume almost 2.5 billion cups of coffee a day !!! For every 100 grams of coffee we use in coffee machine, 91 grams of wasted ground coffee are generated. It is estimated that 32,000 tons of coffee we consumed per year. That means there are around 29,000 tons spent coffee grounds per year. [1] We can recycle those spent coffee ground by feeding plants, chasing away snails, ants and cats, removing bad odors in your refrigerator or even scrubbing your face & body but basically most people just dumped those spent coffee grounds into garbage bin and sent to landfill where they emit methane being a greenhouse gas 30 times more potent than carbon dioxide and one of the primary causes of global warming. [2] However, many researches found that the potential in those spent coffee grounds containing 18% oil can be an eco-friendly, alternative feedstock for biodiesel. [3][4][5] Last Feb 2020, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Lavazza (an Italian manufacturer of coffee products) just signed an agreement on creating the sustainable aviation fuel on a large scale which can reduce Carbon emissions by up to 85% compared to fossil fuels. [6] We can't wait to see the progress of their cooperation in aviation biofuel from coffee in the near future !!! References: [1] Dugmore, T. (2014). The Business of Food Waste.

Hi Nitipak Ratapipat, this is a mentor Sang Su Lee.

That's really an amazing amount of cups of coffee that people drink all around the world. I do not like drinking coffee, but all of my family members enjoy drinking it. I was surprised to see that waste created by making coffee can be used as bio-fuels which fuel the airplane. It's such an amazing technology because a lot of coffee wastes would be produced in a day.

Thank you for sharing this article.

Green Cheers!

Hello Nitipak Ratapipat, this is mentor Taehyun!

Thank you for introducing me to the interesting facts about coffee! I've heard of extracting biofuels from corn or sugar cane, but I've never heard of coffee before! It's amazing that biofuels can be extracted from a wide variety of foods, but on the other hand, if these foods are used as energy sources, there could be various problems such as soaring food prices, so I think the energy sources should be studied for crops that people don't consume a lot!

Thank you for the report!

Green cheers!
