Oil can be extracted from coffee grounds by soaking them in an organic solvent What is this solvent, how much does it cost and is it used as a catalyst or as part of the fuel? If the solvent costs more than diesel does, what does this really get you?

Just don’t use decaf or it’ll stall at every red light.

Coffee grounds are already put to use around here. Mixed as compost, it lowers the pH of our alkaline soil. Makes roses and gardenias very happy!

Another stupid idea that costs more than it produces.

I hope Gov Moonbeam doesn’t read this. We will have mandatory coffee recycling.

Retail price of biofuel .... $4.00

Everybody always laughs when somebody comes up with a new idea.
They laughed at Orville and Wilbur Wright too.
Well I think it is a grand idea to take all those coffee grounds and make them into fuel for my car. Somebody should go ahead and do it and ignore all the ridicule.

"We estimate that a small coffee shop would produce around 10kg of coffee waste per day, which could be used to produce around 2 litres of biofuel," said Rhodri Jenkins, a PHD student in Sustainable Chemical Technologies and first author of the study. In Canadian terms that's $1.40 per liter or $2.80. Wonder how much fuel that truck uses to pick it up. Then we have processing, refining, distribution, government tax bite, profit. .........right!

Well, they go into the compost pile with everything else - that gets put in my vegetable gardens - and, um, then I eat the coffee grinds....

You can make fuel out of just about anything.
If you’re willing to pay the additional price.
The challenge is producing fuel that is cost-effective.

“Oil can be extracted from coffee grounds....”
.
Now why should we even attempt to do it when we’re sitting on many billions of barrels of crude oil.
Has anyone calculated the cost of producing one barrel of oil from coffee grounds vs. that from the ground? And please make the calcs based on BTU value of production cost and consumer value.
