[Biofuel] WVO Market Question
Greetings all: I have a good friend in the restaurant supply business and he has access to pretty much all the WVO he wants. I do not think he is interested in refining it to BD, with all the attendent hassles, but he did point out it would be pretty easy to de-water and filter it, and then just package it in 35 lb containers. I told him I suspected there would some market for this, in that if it were cheap enough and of consistent quality, I personally would be willing to forgo drum-diving in favor of cheap clean feedstock. Anyone have any thought? He floated .50 a gallon. He is in the DC MD VA WV DE region. -Mike ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/

I told him I suspected there would some market for this.. I've often wished someone would offer cleaned WVO. The closest you can come is yellow grease from the renderers, which is too expensive and really crap (high FFA). Even thought about doing it myself, but the licenses and permits would be a major hassle. Your friend might make an arrangement with a renderer to do the pickup and transport, and then sell it on consignment from the same facility as their yellow grease. Too bad it's not in California :-) -K ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
