Diesel Fuel From Leftover Grease

April 4, 2008 – 9:49 am

A company in New York thinks they’ve come up with a unique take on alternative fuel. Ithaca BioFuel thinks that leftover grease can be used as an efficient clean-burning alternative fuel source.

“Usually people have to pay to have this stuff taken away we pick it for free and we turn it into one of the most important commodities in our economy in a sustainable way,” said Tycho Dan of Ithaca Biodiesel.
Ithaca Biodiesel changes leftover oil into something people use everyday.
Tycho Dan says it’s better than trading with other countries, and it’s natural enough to drink.
Right now, Ithaca Biodiesel sells about a hundred gallons a week at four bucks a gallon, cheaper than the diesel at gas stations now.

The great part is that it gets rid of unwanted grease that can not be put in landfills, or recycled, and it turns it into affordable fuel. The question will be, how scalable is this solution?
