Examining waste cooking oil supply for campus biodiesel production and implementation

University of British Columbia. Campus and Community Planning

This study investigates the feasibility of already-­‐existing supply and demand of biodiesel at the University of British Columbia. A student-­‐led project operating under an Engineers for a Sustainable World chapter manages a batch biodiesel processing operation in conjunction with the department of Chemical and Biological Engineering. Currently, the group produces 60 Liter batches for distribution to housing and dining and services. The fuel is currently dispensed through a blend-­‐on-­‐demand station, which mixes petroleum diesel and biodiesel in concentrations set by the user. While current fuel demand is being met, there exists the potential to produce more fuel for the AMS.
