In a lot of cases, it doesn't pay to get too caught up in the "economics" of the process until it's demonstrated in principle. Now if the guy showed that the process didn't work, the whole issue of "economics" just goes away on it own. Removal of the oils from the coffee grounds is a neat idea as I suspect that they're probably just discarded anyway. The chemical engineers have some cool stuff they get to use on the pilot plant or production scale that us chemists just don't have access to on the lab scale. But since he demonstrated it could be done, he/they will just need to engage the expertise of someone with a little more training and they could potentially make this much more efficient. It still may not end up ecomonically viable, but we don't know that for sure yet.
...Will see the post and read the research, blend it in with some other toxic waste and produce a useful substance. Who ever dreamed that E-Coli (a pathogen) could produce produce oil out of waste
Thinking, research, and hard work creates solutions.
Taxes only divert the thought, research, and hard work from solving the problem.
Those who dream up new taxes under the pretense of solving the problem are too stupid to solve the problems.
Mentioning any names in the news would be a political statement.
