Filed in archive Biofuel by Reden Rodriguez on January 3, 2007

One of the top ten technologies that we could capitalize on is to make biodiesel from just about anything. In this article, one of the largest meat processor in the US, Tyson Foods, Inc., is catching the biofuel wave by putting up its renewable energy arm to use animal wastes as biodiesel feedstock. It does put less pressure on using soy oil by making what used to be a non-economically valuable material such as animal fat into something of significant value.

What resources do you have in your community? Maybe I can find a biofuel-conversion technology that is apt for your needs.

Tyson Foods is planning a site in Missouri - the facility will have a poultry processing plant next door to a biodiesel refinery to create the alternative fuel from the waste product. Recycling is something everyone should get involved with and promote. http://e85.whipnet.net/alt.fuel/animal.fat.html
