Hi Keith ;
You guys are way ahead of me.
Have you checked the Biofuels-biz list archives for
information on
processing Crude Palm Oil (CPO)? I doubt that's in
your book. Try a
search here for Allen, check messages about
high-FFA oils and so on:

By the way, are you aware of the trials with
sunflower oil being
conducted by Suncare Fuels and Tsukuba University
with Lao refugees

Hello Peter G.

Please don't mis-understand. I am very pro biodiesel.
It is just that I feel we need a better feedstock
than used frying oil to make a difference. That's why
I plan to develope a palm oil plantation. I bought a
very detailed (and expensive) technical book on how to

Hi Peggy,
Do you have any reference or web links to the process?
It would be another interesting area to look at.
Hi Peter,
Just got back. I think that Cambodia is a really good
target. Since as you said there's no oil refinery
there. My initial gut feeling was that BD can be
developed in
Hello Peter,
The study was done in Hawaii and I will have to search in my notes to
send the reference paper location. I looked in my technical references
and the complete reference was not there. (It was inserted later by one
of my colleagues). It's somewhere, but will take a little time to

Hello Peter,
It is possible to make fuel ethanol from discarded paper and food waste
(non-dairy and no meat) making fuel ethanol another alternative to
biodiesel as well.

Hi Caleb ;;
I agree with you 100% about used frying oil being a
questionable feedstock. There simply isn't enough
Hi Peggy ;
Yes I bought a small autoclave to try out converting
waste cardboard to ethanol by dilute acid hydrolysis.
Truckloads of cardboard waste from all over Cambodia
come back to Thailand through Poipet for recycling.
It can be had for 2 baht/kg (about $0.05 per kg). Now
that is a cheap

Hi Caleb ;;
I agree with you 100% about used frying oil being a
questionable feedstock. There simply isn't enough of

is spread out over a large geographic area. Yes, sure
the backyard tinkeres can make a go of it. But as
