The Nitte Mahalinga Adyanthaya Memorial Institute of Technology in Mangalore has established a government-funded biofuel plant on campus, where it turns waste oil from restaurants into biodiesel. The facility has a daily production capacity of 50 litres and supplies a local bus company, which powers its three-vehicle fleet with an 80/20 diesel-biofuel blend. The scientists are still assessing the viability of the project. The bus company's owners expect biofuel to be more widely used in future.
