A green start-up technology company has surprised scientists by producing a biofuel from old rubber tyres that can run turbo-charged diesel engines while reducing emissions by 30 per cent.
Green Distillation Technologies (GDT) can produce 3,000 litres of bio-oil from one giant seven-tonne mining truck tyre.
It hopes to increase production to more than 8 millions litres annually by mid-2017.
Director Trevor Bayley said the company used a technique known as destructive distillation to convert wasted, old rubber into renewable energy.
He said the idea was driven by a desire to reduce massive stockpiles around the world which are growing at a rate of over a billion tyres a year.
"We are able to convert this wasted resource and environmental hazard into high demand valuable raw materials," Mr Bayley said.
"The process is emission-free and some of the recycled oil is used as the heat source for the production process.
"It begins by loading end-of-life tyres into a process chamber, which is evacuated of air and sealed.
