Welcome Yate's first POO bus: POWER FROM PEOPLE

POWER FROM PEOPLE

Our first local poo bus is being launched here 3pm, Yate Bus Station today Monday 16th. All welcome.

The biomethane fuel is being produced at the Avonmouth Sewage Works - so your poo could be fuelling the bus!!

(The title power from people was first used about Avonmouth back in the 1980s, when  our very own Paul Hulbert was involved in connecting an electricity generating plant at the sewage works using methane to the mains. The evening post headline at the time was Power FROM the people. )

In technical terms,  the fuel is no better for the climate than a modern high standard diesel bus - BUT it is miles better for the environment overall, because it cuts out delivery tankers and all the CO2 emissions in getting the diesel frm the well through processing to the bus. This is simply captured and pumped locally.
