Norwegian To Convert US Lipo Fat Into Bio-Diesel
2006-12-06
Fat For Cash clinics in a mall near you :)
Lauri Venøy wants to use the product created from liposuction to develop bio-diesel. Bio-diesel can be produced from plant oils and/or animal fat, and the Norwegian sees the scheme as a renewable energy source, newspaper Dagens Nærinsgliv reports.

More than sixty percent of Americans are overweight and the Norwegian's firm in Miami, Florida is in the process of signing an agreement with US hospital giant Jackson Memorial. This deal would give Venøy & Co. around 11,500 liters of human fat a week from liposuction operations, which is enough to produce about 10,000 liters of bio-diesel. "Maybe we should urge people to eat more so we can create more raw material for fuel," Venøy said.

In Norway bio-diesel is primarily produced from herring fish oils and used fryer fat.

#3  Lipo ain't free in the US. Somebody's paying for it, and I don't think Mr. Vensy's planning to pay for anyone's procedure.

#2  Hey, if they're ok to pay for my lipo, I can propel a family-sized car for at least... well, I've let myself go badly last couple of years, so , I'd say... pretty far.
As an added bonus, burnt bio-diesel made out of my fat will smell of chocolate, mostly.
