Believe it or not, Ecotec is apparently going to run a truck that runs on processed chocolate through parts of Africa. Three tons of wasted chocolate were used to make 396 gallons of biofuel. Apparently, burning that biofuel does less damage than landfilling the chocolate, which would then generate methane. Which makes the undertaking appear carbon-negative (so they say). I'd like to see the math on that. Apparently, a single British chocolate company generates 5,000 tons of waste chocolate a year. That's enough to make 660,000 gallons of biofuel per year - from just one company's waste.
