After filing about the use of animal fat for fuels in the past week, there is yet another animal whose fat can be used as fuel. And this time it’s the chicken. Researchers at the University of Arkansas have developed a way to convert chicken fat into biodiesel fuel.
The Biodiesel producers will be able to choose the best way to convert different grades of chicken fat into fuels. Chicken-fat fuels are being considered to be better for the environment and the machines as they tend to burn better, create much lesser particles and lubricate and clean things like cylinders, pistons and fuel lines.
As the soybean oil is much easier to make fuel, the refining of soybean oil is quite an expensive project. On the other hand, chicken fat is available at much lower cost, but it is too early to say if using the chicken fat to make biodiesel fuel would be economically feasible or not.

Recently, I got the rare opportunity to interview the adept designer Leonid Lucenko who is a Venezuelan lad. Born on 24th August 1983, Leonid came up with the unique concept of SPIRIT- an electric vehicle that is emission free, but the fact that renders this concept an element of uniqueness is that this EV is a cross between a bike and a car.
