The stanford Marguerite shuttle bus is considering using biodiesel! I was forwarded
this message, but since I am still in Sweden (for another week) I wanted to see if
there was any locals that could help. (i don't have any contact info for berkeley bdsl
coop... My intuition says that there will not be enough oil from their dining
facilities, but I actually don't know the scales of their dining or bus schedules, so
can't say for sure. This is very cool though.
go Cardinals!

1.  Biodiesel for the Stanford Marguerite buses?

Can any of you folks out there provide some expertise for this biodiesel proposal?  If
so, please contact Heather directly.  Thanks,  gil

Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) is considering the feasibility
of utilizing biodiesel in our fleet vehicles.  Ideally, we would like to
convert used cooking oil from our campus dining facilities into biodiesel
in an on campus processor.

We are assessing interest from the academic community with respect to our
project.  Are you aware of any research already in progress regarding
biodiesel production and/or use?  Do you know anyone on campus who might be
interested in participating in our program?

Any information you might have is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
