The coffee remains are dried, then the oil is separated from the waste using a process called hexane extraction. The remaining fiber is pressed into pellets that can be put into boilers for heat. The coffee waste can also be processed into ethanol or biodiesel. ]]> 2020-01-30 15:17:01 UTC https://padlet.com/andrienneliudahl/g3e6oezerj32/wish/438205573 Why does it make everything amazing? andrienneliudahl https://padlet.com/andrienneliudahl/g3e6oezerj32/wish/438214098 - It doesn't compete with food crops like bio fuels from corn or palm oil do
