making biodiesel via esterification/transesterification. You can use it to
degrade tires, plastic, organic wastes and biomass in general into useable
gases and liquid fuels.
The tough pill to swallow is the intense energy inputs and mechanical costs.
But then again, recovering energy and reusing it is better than landfilling
it.

This is simple pyrolysis. One heats up any plant or amimal matter, in the
absence of oxygen. Another term for the same process is distructive
distillation. It produces a mixture somewhat like crude oil (fossil) The
trick is to do it effeciently. See for example

A dutch web site ,the name under the firest picture (top one of 3)
says raw biodiesel ??? looks more like dino to me...
part of the text
Het maken van biodiesel is geen koud kunstje. Vaste biomassa wordt bij
hoge temperaturen (~ 500 oC) en in afwezigheid van zuurstof omgezet tot
een gas dat afkoelt tot een vloeistof. Dit proces, pyrolyse, staat nog in
de kinderschoenen.
rough translation:
Making biodiesel isn't easy , solid biomass is gassed at 500 degrees
celcious (in a vaccume) that cools to a liquid, this process called
pyrolyse is still in it's infantcy.
any idea what they are talking about?
(btw , utwente in the link means university of twente)
