Bio Diesel News Thursday September 7th 2006
Sugarloaf bus to use bio-fuel
One man's trash can be another man's cash. Wyman Township resident Mike Wiltse is setting out to prove that theory by operating a small bio-diesel facility on Sugarloaf, which will turn used vegetable oil from area restaurants into fuel. Sugarloaf/USA has agreed to purchase the end product and will run one shuttle bus on it for the ski season.
Government may revoke some biodiesel licences
Malaysia may revoke some of the 52 licences it issued to companies to develop biofuel as they aren't committed to the business. “I think some of them are not really serious'' about investing, Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Datuk Peter Chin Fah Kui said in an interview Tuesday. They'd have “reasonable time'' before the licences were withdrawn, he said, without giving a specific timeframe or naming any companies.
Plant Oil Might Yet Help Fuel Country's Future
A humble shrub might provide a solution for some of Namibia's fuel price woes and earn income for rural people and commercial farmers alike. The oil extracted from the nuts of the Jatropha curcas bush can be added to normal diesel on a large scale and can be used by farmers to run their tractors and generators. It might also replace paraffin, which is used by some 70 per cent of the Namibian population for cooking and lighting.
Ground broken at Beatrice for biodiesel plant
A crowd of people including Nebraska Gov. David Heineman and state, city and county officials attended the ground-breaking Aug. 28 of the new biodiesel plant near Beatrice. When completed in September 2007, the plant will produce 50 million gallons of biodiesel and five million gallons of glycerin a year and employ 21 people, the Sun said.
Japanese officials visit biodiesel seed farm
Kenya’s Ambassador to Japan, Mr Dennis Awori, said the introduction of bio-diesel fuel in the country would benefit majority of the population, especially the poor. Awori said the bio-diesel fuel to be produced from the seeds of the physic nut (Jatropha curcas) would reduce the use of firewood and charcoal burning. "The seed will play a major role in reforestation," he said.
Warning over danger of 'backyard' biodiesel
Consumers are being warned purchasing biodiesel from "backyard producers" could do more harm than good to their vehicles. The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) and the Consumers' Institute in a joint statement today said consumers could end up damaging their engines by using the fuel. Biodiesel – a transport fuel made from renewable sources – can be made from used cooking oils, or other oils or fats. EECA senior adviser renewable energy Elizabeth Yeaman said biodiesel or biodiesel blends which did not meet quality specifications could result in engine damage.
Construction begins on largest biodiesel plant in Iowa
Facility will produce 60 million gallons per year. Ground was broken on this week in Algona, Iowa, for the state's first 60-million-gallon biodiesel plant. Renewable Energy Group, Inc. (REG) has partnered with East Fork Biodiesel of Algona in this biodiesel project, taking a minority interest in the plant while also providing construction services. Construction is underway for the $70 million plant and production is expected to begin in approximately 12 months.
