A Japanese sightseeing train is now powered by Ramen-based bio fuel

Leftover broth from tonkotsu is used in Kyushu. Ramen broth is undoubtedly delicious and provides the most intense flavors while you eat ramen. However, you might find the flavor overwhelming if you don't have enough noodles or toppings. Also, it's not the best choice for your health to drink every drop of broth you get. Diners end up with a lot of broth in their bowls after they're done eating. While this is a good decision for your body and palate, it can also be a wasteful practice. There is a Japanese company that turns leftover ramen broth into fuel, as shown in this video. Now, ramen-derived fuel is being used for powering the cars on Kyushu's Takachiho Amaterasu Railway. The Takachiho Amaterasu Railway is located in Miyazaki Prefecture and has two-car open air trains that run along a section the former Takachiho Railway route. It offers beautiful views to visitors. Masumi Nishida heads Nishida Logistik, a shipping firm based in Fukuoka Prefecture. Nishida was speaking with a client about 10 years ago. The owner of a restaurant that serves tonkotsu (porkstock) ramen, Fukuoka’s favorite type of ramen, was his subject. After the owner spoke out about the cost of hiring a waste disposal company for the ramen broth that customers didn't consume, Nishida began to wonder if biodiesel could be made instead. Nishida Logistics installed equipment in the restaurant to allow the leftover ramen broth to be dumped to separate the lard. This can then be used to create biodiesel fuel. The ramen-derived fuel can be mixed with biodiesel from used tempura oil, another environmentally-minded initiative Nishida Logistics has implemented. The blended Japanese food-based biodiesel now powers approximately half of the company’s 170 trucks. Since then, Nishida Logistics began making its ramen/tempura b-diesel commercially accessible to other companies. In August, the Takachiho Amaterasu Railway became a customer. The Takachiho Amaterasu Railway train is seen being powered by the ramen fuel. It can carry up to 60 passengers on a 30-minute round trip journey. The switch from the old diesel used by the railway has been smooth so far. There have been no reported mechanical problems. The new biodiesel produces a lower amount of smoke, which allows passengers to enjoy the natural mountain scenery better. What exhaust does produce is said to smell like ramen or fried rice.
