Utilizing Bio-fuel Beyond Experimental Use

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the put-a-tiger-in-your-tank dept.

grumpyman writes "A C$14 million factory near Montreal started producing biodiesel fuel two weeks ago from the bones, innards and other parts of farm animals. At full capacity plant will produce 35 million liters (9.2 million U.S. gallons) of biodiesel a year, the greenhouse gas equivalent of removing 16,000 light trucks or 22,000 cars from the roads."

    Prion disease might be an in issue if you started ingesting the biofuel. :P

    On a slightly different note, I wonder what consequences it will have on the utilization of farm animals. Kind of puts a different twist on the idea of horsepower. :( :)
