Animal Fat to Fuel
Article by Sarang
The cars that we drive today will soon be using diesel produced from Animal fat. An ordinary user like us will not be able to differentiate between the normal diesel and the diesel from fat.
Even the cars will not feel any difference. After reading the article Pig Fat by Dr Amjad Khan I became curious about where this huge quantity of animal fat is being used other that the food products.
According to a few years old estimate United States alone produces around 11 billion pounds of fat every year from beef, pork and poultry. This is a huge quantity of fat and obviously the livestock industry will never dump it down the drain.
Animal fat has been used as fuel for a long time. It has good burning properties which has been exploited for a long time on a smaller scale. Since it is cheaper source as compared to other fuels like coal therefore there was an attraction to use it. University of Georgia is one of the examples where the schools steam boiler was modified to use animal fat as fuel. It took around $30000 to make this modification which is a big sum. Although the running cost is much lower but the high initial cost keeps people away from it. Now the next wave has started - In this wave the animal fat is now being
converted into diesel. This eliminates the step of using specialized equipment for using animal fat as fuel and the existing engines will be able to use this fuel without requiring any modifications at all.
This is indeed a giant leap for usefulness of animal fat.
ConocoPhilips, a big name in oil and gas industry, has teamed up with Tyson Foods, a major meat producer, to make this possible.
They have kicked off the production and within a few years they plan reach the capacity to produce 175 million gallons of diesel from animal fat per year. This amounts to about 15000 barrels of diesel per day.
The venture of ConocoPhilips and Tyson has inspiring many other oil and gas industry giants to team up with food industry for similar projects. We will soon be using this new breed of diesel in our cars.
This fuel has low amount of Carbon Dioxide and extremely low sulphur contents which makes it very environment friendly as compared to the existing diesel that we use. How do you feel about this? Do you feel this is a good thing or a bad thing?
Dr Amjad Khan has written,
In nearly all the western countries including Europe, the PRIMARY choice for meat is PIG. There are a lot of farms in these countries to breed this animal. In France alone, Pig Farms account for more than 42,000.
PIGS have the highest quantity of FAT in their body than any other animal. But Europeans and Americans try to avoid fats.
Thus, where does the FAT from these PIGS go? All pigs are cut in slaughter houses under the control of the department of food and it was the headache of the department of food to dispose of the fat removed from these pigs.
Formally, it was burnt (about 60 years ago). Then they thought of utilizing it. First, they experimented it in the making of SOAPS and it worked.
Then, a full network was formed and this FAT was chemically Processed, Packed and Marketed, while the other manufacturing companies bought it. In the meantime, all European States made it a rule that every Food, Medical and Personal Hygiene product should have the ingredients listed on its cover. so, this ingredient was listed as PIG FAT.
Those who are living in Europe for the past 40 years know about this.
But, these products came under a ban by the ISLAMIC COUNTRIES at that time, which resulted in a trade deficit.
Going back in time, if you are somehow related to South East Asia, you might know about the provoking factors of the 1857 CIVIL WAR. At that time, Rifle Bullets were made in Europe and transported to the sub-continent through the Sea. It took months to reach there and the gun powder in it was ruined due to the exposure to sea.
Then, they got the idea of coating the Bullets with fat, which was PIG FAT.. The fat layer had to be scratched by teeth before using them.
When the word spread, the soldiers, mostly Muslim and some Vegetarians, refused to fight. Which eventually lead to the Civil War.
The Europeans recognized these facts, and instead of writing PIG FAT, they started writing ANIMAL FAT. All those living in Europe since 1970’s know this fact. When the companies were asked by authorities from the MUSLIM COUNTRIES, what animal fat is it, they were told it was COW and SHEEP Fat. Here again a question raised, if it was COW or SHEEP Fat, still it is HARAAM to MUSLIMS,
as these animal were not SLAUGHTERED as per the ISLAMIC LAW.
Thus, they were again banned.
Now, these multinational companies were again facing a severe drought of money as 75% of their income comes from selling their goods to Muslim Countries, and these earn BILLIONS OF DOLLARS of Profit from their exports to the MUSLIM WORLD.
Finally they decided to start a coding language, so that only their Departments of Food Administration should know what they are using, and the common man is left lurking in the dark. Thus, they
started E-CODES. These E- INGREDIENTS are present in a majority of products of multinational firms including, but not limited to -
TOOTH PASTE,
SHAVING CREAM
CHEWING GUM,
CHOCOLATE,
SWEETS,
BISCUITS,
CORN FLAKES, TOFFEES,
CANNED FOODS,
FRUIT TINS,
Some medication Multi-vitamins Since these goods are being used in all MUSLIM Countries indiscriminately, our society is facing problems like shamelessness, rudeness and sexual promiscuity.
So, I request all MUSLIMS or non pork eaters to check the ingredients of the ITEMS of daily use and match it with the following list of E-CODES. If any of the ingredients listed below is found, try to avoid it, as it has got PIG FAT;
E100, E110, E120, E 140, E141, E153, E210, E213, E214, E216, E234,
