Conoco, Tyson Alliance on biodiesel from Animal Fat
Conoco, Tyson Alliance on biodiesel from Animal Fat
Conoco-Phillips and Tyson Foods have announced plans to team up to make biodiesel fuel out of animal fat, according to a report @ The Wall Street Journal
Tyson produces over 300 million gallons of beef, pork and chicken fat each year. The company plans to ship about 60 percent of its fat to a Conoco-Phillips plant for processing. The remaining 40 percent will be used in cosmetics, soap and pet food, as it is now.

This is interesting news but, it only leaves me with a desire to find out more... The Tyson plant is, or will be located next door to a poultry plant thereby reducing cost.
