Published on December 4th, 2008

Researchers are reporting they have successfully made a high quality biodiesel from spent coffee grounds. They estimate that the coffee ground biodiesel industry could generate as much as $8,000,000 in profits annually using waste from US Starbucks stores alone...

After taking out operating costs, and assuming a sale value of $4.50/gallon of biodiesel

$4.50/gal! Way too spencive, forget Starbucks use McDonalds coffee, I'll bet they make more coffee per day too. :laugh2:

Hey, just think what the exhaust will smell like.

Wait, didn't I hear Starbuck was closing many locations? Is this just some back door trick for ANOTHER bail-out? :eek:

LOL! I never thought of that. Truth to tell, as a coffee addict, I don't do much Starbucks. Granted at Christmas I'm likely to pull in $100-150 in gift cards and I'll use them. But not MY money. ;)
