 BioDiesel
Alternative to Fossil Fuels in Bermuda
Just imagine being able to pay 1/3 the current cost to fill up your boat,
truck, generator or any other machine that runs on diesel. And at the same
time, emitting out of your exhaust very little smoke and just a hint of french fries.
There are more than 400 restaurants in Bermuda - excluding hotel kitchens -
that all use cooking oils which are either taken to the incinerator or,
unfortunately, poured down the drain.
This expired cooking oil, which would have been thrown away, 92% can be reconstituted into Biodiesel and the remaining 8% become glycerin that can be used for soap or be burned for
electricity.
Paul Farrington and Stavros Walsh are the two men behind this wonderful
concept. They are currently trying to find a home in the East End of
Bermuda and finalizing funding. Greenrock has agreed to work with them in
providing communications and creative assistance to the company, Bermuda
Biodiesel. As their company grows, so will Greenrocks efforts in coverting
their success into Greenrock related events.
