Pig Fat to be Turned into Diesel Fuel

by Missy Diaz on Thursday, August 9th, 2007

As reported by Science Blogger Lisa, over at Inventor Spot. Giant meat producer Tyson Foods and oil company Conoco Phillips, are teaming up to create diesel out of animal byproduct fat from Pigs, Chickens, and Cows.

They state that pig fat diesel is “cleaner than regular diesel, as it has lower levels of carbon dioxide, and zero sulfur”. As a vegetarian, i don’t support this new pig fat diesel, but am reporting it to inform on the measure.

What do you guys think of this intended new animal-based diesel?
