As petrol and diesel prices rise, and fossil fuels run low, everyone needs to find ways to do their bit to help. Some time ago there was a flurry of interest in the use of old cooking oil as an alternative to diesel. Can this really work? Are fish and chip shops all over the country sitting on a goldmine of fuel that we could all be using in our cars?
Let’s think about what diesel is and work out why chip fat could be helpful. Diesel is made from crude oil (just like petrol) and the energy comes from the fact that it is made up of hydrogen and carbon, or hydrocarbon for short! Hydrocarbons come in lots of different types and chip fat is one example. Because chip fat is mostly vegetable oil (which comes from plants) the carbon dioxide given off when it burns is only the same as the amount the plant took in when it was growing. This means that overall the amount of carbon dioxide on the planet remains the same and we say that it is ‘carbon neutral’. This makes it more planet friendly than petrol or diesel – and a little bit cheaper too!
