Scientists from Edinburgh's Napier University, Scotland, said it has successfully developed a vegetable fuels (biofuels) of whiskey. This biofuel has successfully run a car.Scientists use a pot of ale, the liquid residue from the copper and the rest of the wheat from the distillation of whiskey. From this residual material they can make butanol fuel.
"We are committed to finding innovative sources of renewable energy," said Professor Martin Tangney, Director of the Biofuel Research Centre at Napier University, August 19, 2010.
Martin says, this fuel can be used for an ordinary car without adjusting the machine. And unlike other biofuels, fuels made from waste products and no need special plant ingredients, such as castor seeds, corn, and palm oil.
This research project was to spend 260 thousand pounds sterling which is a grant from Scottish Enterprise. Now the University has filed patent applications for environmentally friendly fuels, and they plan to set up a company to market the fuel to various petrol pumps in the UK.
