Oslo Buses to Run on Sewage

Mike writes "Rather than let their sewage go to waste, the city of Oslo recently announced that it plans to cut carbon emissions by converting 80 public buses to run on biomethane generated from raw sewage. The city plans to adapt two sewage plans with the technology this September, and the new biogas buses will be quieter and will cut 44 tones of C02 per bus per year."

    Good for us that Slashdot does not have a post count. Otherwise you would initiate integer overflow in no time.
