Using fat to make biofuel
The engineers from North Caroline State University have developed a new biofuel technology to turn any fat source into fuel that can be used for powering jet airplanes.
Any form of oil can be used for the production of fuel like vegetable oils, animal fat and even from algae.
The technology used here in the creation of the fuel is called Centia which means “green power” in Latin.
NC State has received provisional patents for the process of converting fats into jet fuels and for additives in cold weather biodiesel fuels.
Using horse muck as a form of energy
Horse owners own horses for many reasons like for transportation, as a hobby or for racing purposes.
However not many people have really known that horse waste can be the base for an invaluable and renewable source of energy too.
With the need for new sources of energy to fuel vehicles and provide electricity growing everyday, researchers have found some good news in being able to produce energy from horse muck.
