by Tal Sandler (ShalomLife) ?Israeli scientists developing process of turning leftover oil from fast food restaurants into biodiesel
?Dr. Sobhi Basheer and Dr. Ahmed Tafesh of TransBiodiesel, have developed a new process by which any oil, including leftovers of fast food joints, or ?falafel stands,? as they say, can be turned into biodiesel, without requiring much energy in the process.
The duo developed a biological enzyme that allows the transformation of any kind of oil into the much less pollutant bio-diesel suitable for diesel engines.
?TransBiodiesel already manufactures its biodiesel at its plant in Israel but says it is looking for additional investment before expanding to the international market.
The cost of TransBiodiesel?s technology is $150-300 per kg enzyme depending on volume. Total enzyme cost to produce 40,000 tonnes of biodiesel is around $2 million.
?By using the TransBiodiesel technology, 3,000-5,000 tons of biodiesel can be produced per ton of enzyme, depending on the purity of the feedstock oil,? Basheer adds. ?READ MORE
