What do the following things have in common: CO2 emissions, cars and … compost? If you guessed “fueling cars through compost waste” you’re correct!
When Toyota announced that it plans to not just reduce but basically eliminate its CO2 emissions—both in its plants and the cars it makes—the company factored in the use of CO2 emissions produced by methane gas in, you guessed it, landfills.

Food scraps, what are otherwise known of as compostable waste, end up in the landfill in mass amounts. Toyota has begun a process to capture the methane gas produced by these rotting foods and use them to power both their factories and the hydrogen used in hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicles.
Impressive, huh?
