Greg Hands, the international trade minister, reportedly made representations on behalf of BP, Shell and Premier Oil during a trip to Brazil in March.

He asked the Brazilian government to help British companies secure deals to drill in the pre-salt region of Brazilian waters, according to a British diplomatic cable obtained by Greenpeace. read more

Shell coffee collaboration brewing on biofuel to help power London buses

Oil giant Shell has announced that it is working in collaboration with bio-bean and the coffee drinkers of London to power some of the city’s buses.

The B20 biofuel is partly made from waste coffee grounds and has been added to the London bus fuel supply chain without any great need for vehicle modification.

The fuel provides a cleaner, sustainable energy solution which will lower bus emissions in the UK capitol.

The average Londoner drinks 2.3 cups of coffee a day, producing over 200,000cubic tonnes of waste a year, much of which would otherwise end in landfill with the potential to emit 126million kg of CO24.

Arthur Kay, bio-bean’s founder, said: “Our Coffee Logs have already become the fuel of choice for households looking for a high-performance, sustainable way to heat their homes – and now, with the support of Shell, bio-bean and Argent Energy have created thousands of litres of coffee-derived B20 biodiesel which will help power London buses for the first time. It’s a great example of what can be done when we start to reimagine waste as an untapped resource.” read more
