The vehicle’s biogas is created at the Wastewater treatment plant in Chiclana, Cadiz.
The microalgae feeds on organic wastewater that’s sent to the facility for treatment, creating a methane gas that can be collected and converted into energy.
The two-door car can run on compressed natural gas as well as biogas, and generates zero emissions.
Frank Rogalla, director of technology & innovation, Aqualia, said: “For the first time in the history of humanity a car will be fueled with a full batch of algae biogas. This is the culmination of five years of hard work and a very proud moment for Aqualia.”
