Prince Charles' Aston Martin Runs on Wine (Sort of)
The European Union has mandated maximum amounts of wine that any given vineyard can produce in a single year, and if a fruitful year results in excess, it often goes to waste. Green Fuels Limited provides the tech to convert those unneeded spirits into burnable fuel, which the Prince will now use to motor with the top down in his lovely DB6 Volante (an example of which is pictured above). Many of his other cars have also been converted to run on biodiesel created from recycled cooking oil, and these changes, plus others, have enabled Charles to reduce his carbon footprint an impressive 18-percent since last year.
