Oslo’s Methane-Powered Buses

Posted by Queuebot in Auto & Transportation on February 5, 2009 at 9:20 am

Here in pittsburgh we’ve had buses that run on natural gas for a while now …. BUT these ones out in Oslo run on a different type of ‘Natural Gas’, the taco-bell type … Kinda gross but really cool way to power a vehicle, like in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.

It is available for free in huge quantities, is not owned by Saudi Arabia and it contributes minimally towards climate change. The latest green fuel might seem like the dream answer to climate crisis, but until recently raw sewage has been seen as a waste disposal problem rather than a power source. Now Norway’s capital city is proving that its citizens can contribute to the city’s green credentials without even realising it.
