What about bio-diesel from animal fat? I am doing research. Anything will help. Thanks!?

Question

What companies are pursueing this technology?

Answer 1

It could be possible, but since no one has used Beef Tallow for decades, there is an over abundance of Vegtable Based Oils.

Answer 2

bio-diesel from animal fat? Eww. i think it could work because oil from french fries work and stuff like that but if someone used animal fat they would have to kill animals which could disrupt the balance of nature.

Answer 3

All animal fat comes from the animal eating plant oil's.

Answer 4

I don't know but it sure beats corn.  See last week's issue of Time magazine, the one with the ear of corn on the cover.

Answer 5

that would be a waste, it should be going into feed.

but we do have far to many animals, and we (shamefully!) dont eat all of the animal, so i suppose using the extra fat as fuel is one way of displacing a tiny bit of the fossil fuel that went into producing the meat in the first place.
