??Oil?? for One and One for ??Oil??!
Ebony Solutions Manufacture Organic and Renewable Fuel
Can you imagine a world in which buildings are heated using waste vegetable oil, such as soy bean and peanut oil?
Can you imagine pulling up to a petrol station in your car and deciding whether to use petrol, diesel or sunflower oil-based fuel?
Thanks to Ebony Solutions in Cheshire, this is a possibility.
Bio-Diesel is the end product of a seven year project. This organic fuel is made from waste vegetable oil rather than the traditional petroleum-based oil which is made from fossil fuels. Not only does petroleum-based fuel produce toxic fumes, which has contributed to global warming and acid rain but it is also non-renewable. In contrast, Bio-Diesel is a renewable energy source and is naturally bio-degradable. Images (like the one on the left) will become a thing of the past.
Stephen Whittaker, the founder and Managing Director of Ebony Solutions, explains, ??It does not release harmful emissions and therefore makes no net contributions to global warming. It also burns more cleanly and efficiently, further reducing pollution.??
Additionally, Bio-Diesel can be used in ordinary engines without any alterations and costs the same as petroleum fuel. Due to the obvious advantages of using such a fuel, Bio-Diesel recently received British Standard Certification. It seems only a matter of time until this greener fuel comes to a petrol/vegetable oil station near you!
