Diesel and jet fuel from animal fat

I guess Tyson foods plans on trimming some of the fat.

There has been a good bit of discussion of "anything to oil" technology over
the past couple of years--mostly involving poultry and slaughter house
waste. Some of the "guestimates" of the possible quantity seem optomistic,
but it is a great idea and I am very glad to see it heading toward
production.

I agree. I have heard a lot also, but this is the first time I have heard of
anything as significant as someone investing $150m. Really peaked my
interest.

It also seems interesting, they at least "think" the have an answer for the
cold temperature performance. If they plan to produce 75m gallons the first
year for military aircraft and I assume tanks, they must plan to resolve a
lot of issues that could open the some doors for GA use of biodiesel.

whale oil!

Considering what Tyson's done with poultry production and industry
wages, they're likely to give us biodiesel that costs 50 cents a gallon,
though all the refinery workers will be illegal aliens and every gas
station will have a chicken-manure lagoon out back.

Gives new meaning to the term "horsepower."

Perhaps we can coin a new term: "cowpower": It's the adjusted brake
horsepower of your aircraft engine while operating on animal fat.

I could live with that for $0.50 fuel.

Then, we'll only need someone to bring the cost of a Theilert diesel down to
the same price as a Jabiru 2200....

Your group is free to use the PETA name. I think the old PETA changed
their name to PETCA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Cute
Animals).

There is room for all of God's creatures right next to my peas.

Parts of it. I checked on alt.politics last week and haven't gotten the smell
out of my computer yet.

On military bases sewage treatment lagoons are called officers' club
swimming pools.

No, but I camped next to a chicken ranch once at Abbotsford, BC.
Hardly noticed it in the evening, but next morning the wind had
shifted - and omigawd what an awful smell!

More recently, the county raised pigs at their honor farm right next
to the airport where I was based. The wind was usually blowing the
wrong way.....

Yes I have. Conagra has a large chicken processing facility in my home town.
They smell really bad, but so do pet food plants but I still buy dog food
for my Golden Retreiver.
