Hi everyone,
At this moment I am writing a fact sheet about the use of used Waste Vegetable
Oil from restaurants. Since the ban on animal feed WVO needs an alternative
outlet. Because the Dutch government is against tax redemption on bio diesel
the most relevant outlet at this moment is

Some ideas as a follow-up. If NBB and others are
concerned that consumers will be put off by poor
quality biodiesel and/or the improper use/preparation

someone should put together a buying guide. A while

Hi Andrew,
I think that business case decisions are based on things like; people
employed, feedstock cost, chemicals cost, facility costs, equipment costs
and depreciation, etc.
It takes making up a business plan and proforma to find out at what level
of production and sales can be applied.

Interesting that you mention this for when I did a search on ASTM testing
services here is what I got:
Searched the web for ASTM Testing Services. Results 1 - 4 of about 6.
I even modified the search and got worse results. Someone had previously
sent a link for ~$700 ASTM testing

It's odd that there's so much talk of people being so easily put off,
and the uncertainties of new fuels, or of anything new, of resistance
to change. Most homebrewers and especially those who campaign at
state fairs and so on report quite the opposite. Chuck just hinted at

There has been talk of setting up centralized labs on a sort of coop
basis where small producers could send samples for testing at
affordable rates. Several people have discussed this idea, in several
countries, but I don't think anything has come of it yet.

Standard procedure in many countries to process human wastes in
biogas digesters. In fact it's standard procedure at very many sewage
treatment plants in the West, if on a more industrialized scale.
