Since we look towards recycling most things, human-breath cannot be exempt. It's a thought that has never crossed my mind before, to be honest with you! Surprisingly, Liverpool John Lennon Airport seeks to reprocess passengers’ breath into biofuel through an innovative Eco Box. This box, developed by Origo Industries, detains carbon emissions via a photo-bioreactor as a feedstock for algae and produces biomass out of it. Further, this biomass is recycled and turned into green fuel. Fuel, thus generated, could be used in the airport's heating system and the airport's diesel vehicles as well. For those who see it to be a distant dream, the pilot program aims at producing 24,000 gallons of fuel. There are supplementary plans to bring 289,000 gallons of fuel into being, if everything goes right. So, exhale and make this planet green!
