Bio-diesel: The New Driving Force Behind Dalhousie’s Maintenance Vehicles

Abstract

This project investigates the feasibility of running Dalhousie University’s maintenance vehicles on bio-diesel. This project proposes the use of an on campus bio-diesel refinement facility to convert waste cooking oil produced by on campus dining facilities to create fuel. The methods used to deduce our conclusions are as follows: surveys, interviews, and exploratory research. Through our research we found that it environmentally, socially, and economically viable for Dalhousie to run its maintenance vehicles on bio-diesel.
