Most bizarre ways to prepare bio-fuel
The fossil fuels like gasoline and diesel, that we need every day, cannot be recycled and their sources are limited. Bio fuels are made from biological sources and they can be renewed. They are more environment friendly than diesel and gasoline. Scientists and researchers of every country are trying to find out new ways of producing cost effective and efficient bio fuels. In this article we will discuss some extraordinary ways of producing bio fuels from around the world. Bio fuels will hopefully replace the high priced and environment polluting fossil fuels. Bio fuels will empower the populace as we will be able to produce our own fuel for daily [...]
Kirklee residents use cooking oil to generate electricity
Amongst various problems threatening today’s generation, rising pollution and depleting fossil fuel is a major concern. Almost every measure is being taken to save the world from energy crisis in an eco-friendly way. Now the Go-Green motto is followed by the new technology and innovative ideas. The Kirklees residents, accordingly, have come up with a novel idea, which involves generating electricity from cooking oil. The whole process is done at one of their council’s waste recycling center, which is then collected by the Living Fuels. The whole approach of generating eco-friendly electricity from cooking oil is one brilliant approach to save the world from energy crisis. In this process tanks [...]
BAYTOM: A machine that collects and recycles old cooking oil into biodiesel
The Turkish Marine Protection Association has recently come up with a new campaign to further enhance the process of recycling. In this project, waste vegetable oil collection machines dubbed as BAYTOMs are being distributed all over the country after hoi
