Will we soon have cars that run on beer?
Car companies are desperate to create vehicles that run on alternative fuels, and the Times of India reports that the Sierra Nevada Brewing Company is working on beer as a fuel. Don’t worry, though; cars won’t be taking beer away from us. Rather, Sierra Nevada is working with the E-Fuel company in Chico, California to convert unusable “bottom of the barrel” yeast into fuel. This yeast contains 5 to 8 percent alcohol, and through processing can be increased to 15 percent. One day this may lead to an environmentally friendly solution that will decrease our dependence on oil.
The more beer you drink, the more yeast will be available for processing. So have a few pints in our beer glasses.
