Many cities have busses powered by gas. Some of the gas comes from decomposing waste from “meat processing plants”. Always fun to see young angry vegetarians riding a bus powered by gas from dead rotten animals.

It’s a customized ‘71 Volvo 1800 called the eVOLVO. Stock 1800’s (built throughout the ‘60s) were great looking but had bumpers, smooth hoods and unmodified rear-ends.

A number of Dairies have built digesters for their manure. They then burn the methane and generate more than enough electricity to run the dairy. The same methane could be used to fuel a car, truck, or tractor.

Is that a real Volvo car? If so, what year and model? That is one of the sexiest cars I have ever seen! Those lines are gorgeous!

[edit] I looked at the filename, and what I thought was just numbers was actually the model. It’s a Volvo 1800. Not sure of the year yet.

Biogas is much better used as a natural gas substitute than it is as a motor fuel.
