Na kravlji pogon?

[Lucky]

Nakon machaka, i krave su dosle na red da budu gorivo? Mislio sam da topic ubacim u Klejbezable, pa cak i Zoo vrt, kao "haha", ali onda razmisljam, nije ni losha tema da se nadje ovde?

A Canadian company has an idea for motorists worried about global warming -- put a cow in your tank.

A C$14 million factory near Montreal started producing "biodiesel" fuel two weeks ago from the bones, innards and other parts of farm animals such as cattle, pigs or chickens that Canadians do not eat.

"We're using animal waste to reduce greenhouse gas emissions," said marketing director Ron Wardrop of Rothsay, which runs the plant.

"We need more of this type of thing," he said at the plant by the St. Lawrence River, near Montreal where 189 nations are meeting this week to work out how to curb climate change widely blamed on emissions of heat-trapping gases from fossil fuels.

Rothsay, a unit of Maple Leaf Foods Inc., is also making biodiesel at the plant by recycling oil from fast food restaurants, like from the deep-fryers used to cook french fries.

Biodiesel emits little of the smog of conventional gasoline or diesel fuel and almost none of the heat-trapping gases that most scientists say are driving up temperatures and could cause more floods, storms and rising sea levels in coming decades.

At full capacity, the Rothsay plant will produce 35 million liters (9.2 million U.S. gallons) of biodiesel a year, the greenhouse gas equivalent of removing 16,000 light trucks or 22,000 cars from the roads.

"So far we're producing at about a quarter of capacity," Wardrop said. Production is a pinprick out of Canada's total diesel use of 2.2 billion liters.

Postoji varijanta da se ovaj biodizel pravi i od kikirikija ili soje, ali to je vec druga tema ;)

nestvarno ili ne, tek dosta velikih proizvođača je već izbacilo prototipove koji idu na biodiesel..
