How a Belgian Factory Turns Coffee Grounds into Biofuel

from The Manufacturing Podcast with Fexingo: Factories, Supply Chains, and Industrial Business · host Fexingo

Lucas and Luna visit a factory in Belgium that collects spent coffee grounds from cafes, offices, and train stations and turns them into biodiesel and biomass pellets. They break down the numbers: 20,000 tons of grounds processed annually, 70% conversion efficiency to oil, and a partnership with a major coffee chain that supplies 30% of the feedstock. The hosts also discuss the challenges of scaling up a circular economy business and what this means for urban waste streams. Plus, a quick note on how this ad-free show stays on the air. #CoffeeGroundsBiofuel #CircularEconomy #BelgianFactory #Biofuel #Biodiesel #BiomassPellets #WasteToEnergy #SustainableManufacturing #IndustrialBusiness #SupplyChain #Factories #Business #LucasAndLuna #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ManufacturingPodcast #Episode61 #CoffeeWaste Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
