The UK's first poo-powered VW Beetle has taken to the streets. It's a breakthrough that makes you go from 'Yuck!' to 'Wow!'. Go on, step on the gas!
The Bio-Bug runs on methane gas generated during the sewage treatment process.
Waste flushed down the toilets of just 70 homes is enough to power the Bio-Bug for a year, based on an annual mileage of 10,000 miles.
With support from the South West Regional Development Agency, GENeco, a Wessex Water-owned company, imported specialist equipment to treat gas generated at Bristol sewage treatment works in Avonmouth to power the VW Beetle in a way that doesn't affect its performance.
