If you have plans of using car hire in Sydney, consider going the green route. The most environmentally sound choice would be to utilise the great public transportation system available in Sydney that has buses and trains that service almost every inch of the city as well as many popular destinations outside of the city proper.
Several car companies have already begun making efforts to go green. Hertz and Avis are multinational car rental companies that have already started purchasing new greener fleets made up of electric and hybrid engine cars that will replace their older fleets in the future. Though these options are not yet available in your car hire in Sydney, look into getting a compact, smaller engine car that is not only better for the environment because they have smaller engines and have more distance for your dollar, but also better for your wallet.
The future of rentals and automobiles could be changed in the coming years and you might be choosing a new Sydney car hire unlike any you’ve ever tried. Recently discovered and research in the University of Nevada is the presence of easily extracted oil from used coffee grounds. The biofuel produced could be a cheap alternative and there is potential to produce many millions of gallons per year.
Dr. Manoranjan Misra, Director, Renewable Energy Center Professor, Materials Engineering Division, discovered this coffee concept by accident. Returning to a cup of coffee that he left out overnight, Dr. Misra discovered that a thin film of oil had started to form around the edges of the cup. Dr. Misra then executed a few tests on left over coffee grounds to find that it actually contained about ten to fifteen percent oil. Afterwards, he turned the oil into biodiesel. Starbucks Coffee then provided tons of leftover coffee grounds to be used in further research.
The coffee grounds build a more stable fuel than preceding attempts involving corn and soy. Using coffee grounds also produces less carbon emissions. The biodiesel may be manufactured for more or less one dollar per gallon because the process is not exceptionally demanding. Apparently, even the fuel has smell of cofee. So possibly within a few years there’s a chance you will be driving around in a car hire in Sydney smelling like coffee.
