The process of gasification produces hydrogen and carbon monoxide. This article indicates the hydrogen is burned. The carbon monoxide is also burned. It’s a very important part of the fuel for a vehicle like this. Once burned, it returns to harmless carbon dioxide.

Biomass conversion makes sense; coffee bean combustion is impractical for broad use, so why waste time to design and build it and beans to burn? This exemplifies frivolous allocation of resources in a world where many human beings starve every day. We ought to wake up and smell the intended pun. Anyway, this car went faster on coffee beans in September of 2011, I wonder in what dimension 65mph is greater than 66.5 mph… http://inhabitat.com/coffee-powered-car-breaks-world-speed-record-for-vehicle-powered-by-organic-material/
