[QUOTE="New Puritan, post: 7018886, member: 39018"] A lot of it does contain palm oil - due to the main global manufacturer having a lot of interests in the Far East. It is also possible to make it from tallow or coconut oil, or from various waste oils. It does favour gloopier stuff though. The history of HVO manufacture is heavily intertwined with palm oil, and the process is influenced by the existing knowledge, but that doesn't mean there isn't interest in finding alternatives. I think currently your issue would be finding someone in the UK to supply it in small volumes - not much comes here at the moment and when it does it tends to be blended into diesel at the terminal. There's a rail freight company and a ferry company who have trialled it in higher blends, but they would have bought in bulk. [USER=42914]@holwellcourtfarm[/USER] - [URL]http://www.methanogen.co.uk/[/URL] make small scale AD plants. An issue with small AD plants is finding a use for low pressure gas, but running an Aga type stove could be a solution. [/QUOTE]
