Seat launches a biomethane initiative in Barcelona
The aim of the Life Methamorphosis project is to produce biomethane from organic waste and turn it into renewable gas. Each inhabitant of the city of Barcelona generates about 1.5 kilos of waste daily, in total there is 2.5 million kilos of rubbish every day of which only 40% is recycled. Recycling all the organic waste could produce biomethane to power 10,000 cars every year. Of all the ...
