Grass cuttings 'to be used as biofuel'
The Carbon Trust is working with the University of York to research using microwave technology to turn garden and wood waste into biofuel. It claims the carbon footprint of a new biofuel could save 95 per cent of carbon compared to fossil fuels. Using microwaves, the waste is heated in the absence of oxygen through a process called pyrolysis. The research will evaluate a biofuel to blend with fossil fuel or use as a pure fuel.
