Objective
To use waste oils and fats to produce renewable fuel.
This to be done in three ways:
1. Use of recycled vegetable oil as a fuel extender for heating and diesel engines - material characterisation, clean up and boiler and engine trials will be followed by a demonstration heating application at Mallow County Cork Ireland, which will produce guidelines for the collection, clean up and limits of use of the waste vegetable oil as a fuel extender;
2. Use of waste fat to produce biodiesel for engines and biogas for the production of heat and electricity - material characterisation for suitability for esterification, organic material which is not suitable will be used to produce biogas by anaerobic digestion to quantify the maximum energy output for a given input of waste fat;
3. Use of biomass waste such as forest residuals or other organic waste to produce DME or methanol as a renewable fuel, heat and electricity.
Formation of a stakeholder group with local communities, entrepreneurs, national and regional energy companies/authorities, auto and oil companies to determine the legislative and financial infrastructure required.
