Bio-diesel Made from Sewage

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the gas-that-really-smells dept.

tito writes "A New Zealand company has successfully turned sewage into modern-day gold. New Zealand Herald is reporting that a Marlborough-based Aquaflow Bionomic yesterday announced it had produced its first sample of bio-diesel fuel from algae in sewage ponds. It is believed to be the world's first commercial production of bio-diesel from 'wild' algae outside the laboratory - and the company expects to be producing at the rate of at least one million litres of the fuel each year from Blenheim by April."

    Check the prices at the pump before jumping into the "bio" mode. E85 costs more! The gas companines can not be the distrubutors of this new feul! It's a monopoly that must fall!

    Also Make Magazine had an article on how to make this stuff a few months ago. Didn't try it. Wife wouldn't let me!

    oil companies are probably already making "offers which they (NZ company) cant refuse" to buy their patent and shut down the production.
