Even these buses need their fill of caffeine.
Waste coffee grounds will be Watch Dark Fantasies (2010)powering some of London's buses from Monday on, according to tech firm bio-bean, and petrol giant Shell.

According to bio-bean, the average Londoner drinks 2.3 cups of coffee a day, translating to over 200,000 tonnes of waste a year.
The company takes some of these used coffee grounds from high street chains and factories, drying and processing them before oil can be extracted. This is later processed into a blended B20 biofuel, which simply refers to biofuel which is mixed with petroleum diesel.
Buses can run on the fuel without any need for modification.

“It’s a great example of what can be done when we start to reimagine waste as an untapped resource," said bio-bean founder Arthur Kay in a press release.
"Thousands of litres of coffee-derived B20 biodiesel will help power London buses for the first time.”
Bio-bean is a London-based startup that won an innovation award from Shell in 2013.
