Michel Benoit lives in Stockholm, and is now the proud owner of a biogas powered Volkswagen. The kicker is the gas is produced by the local water treatment plant and available around town (about 8 stations and counting).

Michel explains how it works, what the performance is like (pretty much no different than a regular engine) and how, if at all, this is helping him meet more people in Stockholm.

But seriously, this is a pretty cool system, and encouraging since it’s an option from a major car manufacturer. Pictured above are the biogas car, and Yrrol, Michel’s best friend.
