Certain to say that we are not recycling all of the WVO out there to recycle. Also that certifying WVO as a legal fuel is highly unlikely unless the standards are allowed a very broad and uncontrollable variance. The 2005 DOE Annual Energy Outlook predicts that by 2010 we will be consuming 22.98 million barrels per day of petroleum. We could compare that with the quantities of plant oil produced in this country and determine a ballpark number of how much more we will have to produce to satisfy both fuel and food demands. More research needs to be done on fast-growing high-yield, oil-producing plants not for consumption. One hopeful area includes aquatic plants (algae) which have no stem or roughage to contend with, regenerate faster than terrestrial plants and can be grown in vertical tubes. Harvesting the oil continues to be a challenge. The National VegOil Board invites anyone interested in researching particular relevant topics such as this to become a member and help build the archive of our collective knowledge, available to the public.

It was refreshing to see the issue of safety/pollution being addressed in terms of the need to get the stuff certified. Id agree that there is no single solution to powering transport in future, and everything needs to be looked at and experimented with. I remain skeptical about how much of the fuel burden vegetable oil can handle - is there anywhere I can get figures on how much waste vegetable oil is potentially available, so thats its possible to guesstimate how many people this stuff could reasonably power in future if all the other barriers disappear?

But I know folks in MA who can help you pick a kit and an installer and mentor you along the way. Write to vegoil@vegoil.us and we can start a conversation. Serra -
