Green Electricity - Bio-diesel: Run Your Car On It!

It is likely that the farmers would blockade the country's roads for starters! Regrettably

, the possibility of this occurence are becoming more and more likely with growing tensions around the world leading to ever increasing oil prices and volatility in the world markets. Fossil fuels are running out an alarming rate and individuals are starting to look seriously at other alternatives.

Needless to say, an increase in oil prices will produce struggles to the economy and in each person's life. But some people say that the sole method to have them to make use of public transport or to walk 5 minutes to the local shop instead of driving is to price them out of making use of their vehicles for unproductive trips. Increasingly people are making their own biodiesel fuel from used cooking oil to run their vehicles to decrease their reliance on oil.

Biodiesel is produced from vegetable oil (including used oil) in a process known as *transesterification*, by which the glycerine is separated from the oil, making a clean burning fuel that will efficiently power any diesel engine with vastly decreased exhaust emissions which is good for the environment. Individuals have been deserting their local petrol station in favour of using waste vegetable oil from big scale users for example pubs, restaurants, or pure oil off the shelf.

The government is becoming aware of this use of less expensive, alternative fuel and is targeting this eco method as they are not paying tax on this oil which they'd be doing if they bought petrol. The government appears to pay lip service to reducing climate change as the few Bio-diesal users are being targeted for tax evasion instead of prompted to make use of this eco friendly fuel. Where is the incentive for current Bio-diesel users and companies to invest in research and development?

For those of you who are thinking of creating the change, there are various processes or kits obtainable to convert car engines and these cost between 400 and 1,200. All you have to to include is vegetable oil, methanol, a small amount of catalyst, electricity and tap water into this conversion and you are all set! Oh.... and don't forget to tell the taxman.
