Hi Dom,

I'm afraid Greener Leith doesn't have any premises of our own, so we can't help. Good luck in trying to find somewhere!

Hi Dom,
I have been thinking on the same lines for a while, but don't have anywhere either. There is one place where they are already producing it, the Citroen garage in Arthur Street. Here Kenny makes it for his own consumption, so to speak, but he was saying that it was already getting a bit difficult to find used vegetable oil as all the chippies use animal based oils apparently. My other thought was to try and get a school interested as part of their chemistry classes. Sadly don't have the time to investigate this further, but please keep us abreast of any developments. Charlotte

Interesting, I didn't know you could not use animal oil to make bio diesel... I have heard it is getting harder to come by used oil as lots of Edinburgh chippies have some recycling system. Anyway, even if it is made with bulk bought new veg oil it has got to be more sustainable (and cheaper) than normal diesel.
