Spanish water management company Aqualia and car ##itas SEAT are collaborating to develop a sustainable fuel from wastewater . The project , called bio Metha - morphosis , aims to develop biomethane from organic waste that can power compressed natural gas vehicles , reducing their carbon dioxide emissions by up to 40 % . Two pilot facilities are being built to accelerate the production of the green gas . The first , UMBRELLA , uses a bioreactor to separate gas from solid waste and the second , METHAGRO , will use agricultural waste to develop biomethane for use in vehicles and public gas infrastructure .
