Small-scale production of biodiesel by municipalities has been conducted successfully by several cities in Alabama and appears to be a concept that can be duplicated in other municipalities across the state and nation.
These programs use recycled waste vegetable oil (WVO) as their primary feedstock for biodiesel. The WVO can be obtained from the food service industry or from local citizens. Organizations such as the Tennessee Renewable Energy and Economic Development Council and the East Tennessee Clean Fuels Coalition can assist local governments with the implementation of sustainable small-scale biodiesel production systems.By using commercially available biodiesel processors and relatively simple oil collection and storage equipment, the municipal fleet management team can produce high-quality biodiesel for use in vehicles and equipment. While there are technical challenges to overcome in any such program, challenges such as WVO quality assurance, fuel quality assurance, and glycerin offtake have all been successfully overcome by fleet operators.The most important aspect of these programs is the successful involvement of local businesses and citizens in creating a community-based recycling and biofuel production program. Such programs alone will not solve the nation’s energy security problem; however, they can be a small step toward energy independence by producing renewable fuels from local resources while building community awareness for environmental protection. In short, these programs allow the local citizens to have a part in producing renewable fuels in their own community.
