WASTE2RACE: THE SEWAGE-POWERED CAR ON TRACK TO MAKE HISTORY

Engineers and students at WMG at The University of Warwick are working on a hydrogen-powered car fuelled by sewage, in a project entitled Waste2Race. Visitors will be able to see the Le Mans Prototype class 3 car, built by Ginetta cars in Leeds, from sustainable materials. The hydrogen is a byproduct of water treatment technology, from Wastewater Fuels, being trialled at Severn Trent Water, and with it the team at the University are hoping to break records for hydrogen fuelled cars.
