Here’s a surprising development. Researchers are using coffee grounds to produce bio-fuel. You can read the full story here. For the study, the team collected leftover grounds of espressos, cappuccinos and other coffee preparations from the Starbucks coffee chain. Being that the process is not particularly energy intensive, the researchers estimated that biodiesel could be produced for about a dollar a gallon.
