Waste cooking oil as biofuel

http://earthissues.multiply.com/notes/it...

New findings by researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute for Materials Science and Technology, demonstrated that biodiesel made from waste cooking oil offered the greatest reductions in greenhouse gases (over 50 per cent) when compared with fossil fuels. Bioethanol made from whey also performed very well in terms of its overall environmental footprint. The least environmentally friendly biofuels identified by the study were biodiesel made from Brazilian soy and bioethanol made from potatoes, rye and soy. These were all assessed to produce lower reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and have higher negative environmental impacts.

The same stuff used to fry chicken and potato wedges has become a gold mine of energy to the grocery store owner, John Stokes in Idaho.

Stokes heard about the possibility of using vegetable oil as fuel for a car engine, and recognizing his own supply of the oil, he decided to put the waste to better use. "Not only am I not spending money on fuel, I’m saving not having to have it picked up," said Stokes.

He added to his 1984 Mercedes Benz a $3,000 conversion kit developed by a Seattle man. "This is my vegetable oil tank," said Stokes. The Mercedes still requires diesel fuel to start the car, but after only a mile of driving the system heats the oil enough to be used as fuel and then its all veggie oil - all the time.

He says the saving should pay for the kit within a year.
