Deal to turn whisky ‘leftovers’ into biofuel for cars
A deal has been signed to turn by-products from a Scottish distillery into fuel for cars.
In what is claimed to be a world first, the Tullibardine distillery in Perthshire has linked up with a spin-out company from Napier University in Edinburgh.
They plan to use bacteria to feed on the “leftovers” from the whisky making process.
This will produce butanol which can be used to fuel vehicles.
