Scientists at a company in Lincolnshire plan to power cars using oil garnered from Cornish pasties, pies and other waste food, it has been announced.
Eco-friendly fuel firm Greenergy have revealed their intentions to make biodiesel using oil extracted from various forms of food waste.
As well as pasties, crisps and other notoriously oily products that would normally be send to landfill sites and disposed of will be taken to a processing plant in Immingham, Lincolnshire.
There, the cooking oil - which scientists say can make up around 30 per cent of some processed foods - will be extracted and refiltered in order to be compatible with combustion engines.
The finished product will be made up using a fine blend of regular diesel fuel extracted from crude oil and the waste food oil.
Around £50million of investment is being channelled into the venture, Greenergy have said, and it will eventually lead to the new form of fuel being sold on petrol station forecourts.
