University begin to make bio fuels
The University of Wales in Newport, have begun a program that will both save them money and hopefully reduce their carbon footprint too.
The scheme has come about because they have a large amount of waste cooking oil from the university kitchens, to just simply pour it away would be a waste and not very good for the environment, so they have come up with a great idea that will use up the waste cooking oil, save money on diesel fuels for their machinery, such as tractors and even generators, and finally reduce their carbon footprint at the same time.
They have been doing this for nearly two months and by all accounts the process appears to be working as they are able to produce a liter of bio fuel for just 16p (32 cents) while a liter of fuel from their supplier would cost anything up to 38p (76 cents) liter. Thus saving money and reducing their carbon foot print by up to 20 tons a year.
