Well have any transport industries tried to use cooking oil and use it on their vehicles by turning it to diesel?
Since there are loads of restaurants in London, If i was mayor of London, i would make a policy for all restaurants to dispose their cooking oil for the buses in London. So it would save enough on buying bulk fuel. Plus the restaurants will get a cut on their tax if they are willing to do it.
Its very economical way and the fuel will be made from London to be used on their transport systems.
If you don't know anything about what i said take a look at this video
Even through, the capitalist McDonalds have 56% of their fleet running from their bio fuel which they made.

There are a few operators that already use cooking oil as a fuel in buses, I'm sure The Big Lemon (Brighton) use it in most if not all their fleet.
The problem is that it requires modifications to the bus and can produce a horrible smell when burnt!

Biodiesel certainly is an efficient arrangement - a lot of engines can take a certain level of biodiesel blended with petrodiesel, without modifications (something like 20% I think). However, a lot of engines can potentially run 100% biodiesel - the main problem isn't so much the oil as a fuel, but the logistics of gathering it all up. McDonalds presumably had a well-organised disposal plan before they began using biodiesel in their vehicles, so the logistics were not a problem for them. However, gathering it up out of every chip shop in London might be a costly and awkward process given it would have to be local/national government controlled and funded. |

Actually to a certain percentage no major modifications are needed - apparently manufacturers do not endorse using above 5% biodiesel blends, but it is possible to run up to and above 20% without needing modifications. |
