According to the British "Daily Telegraph," Arthur Kay, a student at the Department of Architecture at the University of London, England, occasionally discovered a way to make renewable fuels and biodiesel from abandoned coffee grounds, and since then he has created a company called ' 'Company, which collects swill and coffee grounds for coffee beverages exclusively from coffee shops, coffee bean retailers, airports and coffee factories and transforms them into biofuels.
As a young entrepreneur, Arthur Kaye is confident about his conversion technology for coffee grounds, saying that used coffee grounds have now turned into cheap, renewable fuels that make solid fuel coffee briquettes 'Can even be used directly on a wood fired boiler, but the price is only half the price of charcoal.
According to Arthur Kay, the coffee grounds collected first need to be dried before they can be patented. The refining process is essentially done in the process of making the bio-bean company's technology. Is a biochemical process known as 'n-hexane extraction,' which uses n-hexane as a solvent to extract oil from coffee grounds, by weight, 15 to 20% liquid fuel and 80 to 85% % Of solid biomass pellet fuel, the latter being made into 'coffee briquettes' that burn more calories than wood and 99.9% less n-hexane solvents, meaning it can be reused Refining process more greener.
Although coffee grounds have been used once, high-temperature refining still emits bursts of aroma, leaving many users annoyed because they do not want their home to smell like Starbucks. The fuel was de-oil treated to remove the taste of the coffee briquettes.
Today, Biotech has reached an agreement with some big business customers to launch its first consumer product, and Arthur Kaye argues that the sale of coffee grounds fuel requires a unique sales philosophy that no one would ever fuel Emotional attachment, then 'bio-beans' companies will create this special feeling, so that more and more consumers love this new fuel.
The current main selling point of the product is its low cost, in addition to a number of interesting activities such as baking briquettes with vegetable briquettes or making barbecue etc. Last summer, Bio Bean started to sell and sell the products, As is the start-up period, Arthur Kay did not think too much about sales.
The company has contracted with some of the largest coffee companies and waste management companies to recycle coffee grounds for fuel and then sell it for a reasonably low price, which they used to pay £ 64 per tonne for landfill, Of transportation costs £ 154. The emergence of 'bio-beans' has saved a lot of money for these big clients and is therefore commended by the Renewable Energy Association.
James Cotter, head of policy and foreign affairs at British Electric Appliances, said that for the UK renewable energy market to innovate and continue to provide solutions to the problems facing society today, it is paramount that it be rethinking The way waste treatment is very challenging in the low-carbon arena, and the British government attaches the utmost importance to it.
Arthur Kayak says his company has spent millions of dollars developing the technology, building plants and dealing with chemicals, scrap and energy products - and the initial costs of starting a project come from several technology challenge bonuses Angel investing, and lending, and in the future he hopes his technology and business model can be applied to any country where coffee is consumed, making more people realize the low-carbon advantage of coffee briquettes.
