75% Informative
Rum and Sargassum , a startup in Barbados in the Caribbean islands, is turning rum waste from distilleries and seaweed washed off onto the shores to produce bio-compressed natural gas to fuel cars.
Barbados has set an ambitious goal to become fossil-fuel-free by the end of this decade .
The startup is now working to scale up its production to meet demand for its initial target of 2,000 customers.
In the long term, the company plans to supply fuel to 100,000 fossil fuel-powered vehicles.
This would prevent an estimated 14 million tons of CO2.
