Student company converts coffee into biofuel
SUHAR: The student company "Java Fuel" at the University of Technology and Applied Sciences in Suhar, Al Batinah North Governorate, has successfully developed an innovative project in sustainable energy by converting coffee waste into clean biodiesel using advanced artificial intelligence technologies. Tarteel bint Khalid al Naabiyah explained that the project offers an eco-friendly product that serves industrial sectors and government institutions concerned with environmental fields, presenting both an economic and environmental solution. The project targets the Omani and Gulf markets amid growing demand for low-emission fuel alternatives. She added that the project relies on collecting coffee waste from cafés and converting it into biofuel — a step that helps reduce waste and supports Oman's efforts to achieve the goals of "Oman Vision 2040" in clean energy. She emphasised that the project contributes to reducing carbon emissions and preserving the environment by providing a sustainable energy source that minimises café waste and promotes biofuel use, thereby advancing environmentally and economically sustainable development. She noted that the company participated in the "Injaz Oman Student Companies Exhibition 2025" and was shortlisted among 60 student companies to the second phase, which included 41 companies. The project received significant engagement from participants, and the company won third place in the Cultural Innovation Competition in Al Musannah in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship. She further stated that the company plans to participate in exhibitions and events organised by universities, colleges and government and private institutions to promote and develop the project based on feedback from specialists and visitors, while also expanding its network with supporters and investors.
