#Now, a car powered by whisky residue LONDON: Scientists in Scotland have become the first in the world to produce biofuel capable of powering cars from residues of the whisky industry.
Edinburgh-based Celtic Renewables plans to build a production facility in central Scotland after manufacturing the first samples of biobutanol from by-products of whisky fermentation.
The company has been awarded £11 million to fund a new plant to make the biofuels. Transport minister Andrew Jones says advanced biofuels have the potential to save at least 60%of the greenhouse gas emissions from equivalent fossil fuel.
"The technique could transform the Scottish whisky industry and generate up to £100 million of transport fuel a year."
"Julie Hesketh-Laird from the Scotch whisky Association said, "The production of biobutanol from draff and pot ale is another example of the industry putting its by-products to a good use to promote sustainability and jobs."
The biofuel is produced from draff the sugar rich kernels of barley soaked in water to facilitate the fermentation process necessary for whisky production and pot ale,
