Home Gardening Becomes Even More Imperative

They have perfected a process that turns meat-processing sludge (they are working primarily with chicken plant sludge which is basically everything that is left over at the end of the production run) into the appropriate amino acid base for a biofuel blend. This sludge is run through a *cleaning* process which has a yield rate of roughly 80% usable material to garbage and then it is refined which drops the final yield another 10%. The end product is then blended with diesel at varying rates depending on the needs of the final consumer. It's an up and coming industry and they are very secretive about the processes, etc so I don't have any idea what kind of energy use is required to render the final product, but was told that the rendering process does require more work than does Palm or Corn (the 2 most prolific oil bases currently used) , but that overall, their cost per gallon is quite a bit less due the to cost of raw material and transportation vs the other 2. (Most of the Palm oil is shipped in from Africa and there is not as great a density in farms producing corn for fuel as compared to the relatively high density iseen n the poultry processing areas. KW Chicken plant sludge? We call that sausage. There is nothing left over. Nothing but the horrid smell of a charnel house. Even the feathers are feed to cows for protein. The way this works is that cattle and chickens are basically corn, because corn is cheap. The corn in turn is based on petroleum (fertilizer, insecticides and fuel for the tractor) that is owned by people who hate us because we are trying to take it away from them (and have been since [1953?], when we sent Kermit Roosevelt (CIA) to Iran to over throw the legally elected government of Dr. Mohammed Mosaddeq and install our ruthless puppet the Shah. [ and people wonder why they don't like us]). I presume that this isn't a pitch and, that you are just trying to pass along information, for which I appreciate the thought, BUT you don't make biodiesel from amino acids. You make protein from amino acids and, fuel from carbohydrates, like sugar or, hydrocarbons, like oil. Your friend might want to get his money back.
