Brazilian researchers driving biogas-fueled car to Uruguay to boost awareness

In Uruguay, Brazilian researchers are expected to arrive in the capital of Montevideo on Thursday after a 532-mile drive from the Brazilian city of Montenegro in a vehicle powered entirely by biogas. The trial is meant to promote interest in the use of the fuel that the Uruguayan energy ministry hopes could be an option for adding value to agricultural waste, especially livestock. Use of biogas in agricultural equipment is seen as a major opportunity for the sector as well.
