Fish and chip oil in demand in New Zealand

A New Zealand company has declared that the ever increasing interest in running cars on 'biodiesel' fuel has created a huge demand for supplies of waste cooking oil. The company is importing vegetable oil from the India and Africa and is researching the viability of growing plants for fuel oil in New Zealand.

For those interested in converting their cars to a more environmentally caring type the company manufactures a conversion kit that allows vehicles to run on vegetable oil. This costs NZ£4000 enabling the car to run on diesel, recycled or new vegetable oil, biodesal or a combination of the fuels. 

At the moment the company collects most of its oil from restaurants and fast food outlets and recycles for use as a fuel.

'There is outstanding potential in the renewable energy sector to augment or replace diesel fuel with vegetable oil' said the company.
