At present, a large number of drivers have switched over to natural gas
as an alternative to diesel or gasoline, as the exhaust emissions
produced by natural gas contains less CO2 and free from dirt.
However, the major issue is reserves are limited as natural gas is also
a fossil fuel. Currently, Fraunhofer researchers have found an
alternative solution to get the natural gas from food waste such as
overripe cherries, brown bananas and mushy tomatoes that are produced by
canteens, university cafeterias and wholesale markets. The food waste
thus produced will be fermented to produce methane, which can later be
compressed into high-pressure cylinders for use as fuel. Monday, February 13, 2012
