Recycling cooking oil at Guantanamo
The U.S. Navy, taking inspiration from the legions of folks who scavenge used cooking oil from behind Chinese restaurants and fast food joints, have constructed a biodiesel processor for their Guantanamo base. This machine turns the cooking oil that the base produces into biodiesel, which is then be mixed with regular diesel fuel to create a blend. They use approximately 1,500 gallons of cooking oil a month, which previously had all been disposed of in the base's landfill. This new move saves landfill space and reduces the amount of diesel fuel that must be shipped to the island. Sounds like a no-brainer to me![via Treehugger]
