Comments on: America’s Addiction Fuels Desire For Coffee Ground Biodiesel http://gas2.org/2008/12/04/americas-addiction-fuels-desire-for-coffee-ground-biodiesel/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

I'm a chemistry student and I found a paper detailing the process, so I replicated the experiment and found that indeed it can be done. All that's required is some coffee, hexane, a roto-Vap, a reflux condenser setup, some CH3OH, and some NaOH. I'm currently looking to find a gas chromatography column to identify the constituent triglycerides and free fatty acids. It should be interesting.

Nebraska has new bio-diesel plants sitting idle because of lack of oil seeds. The production of hempseed oil on Nebraska's drout stressed lands alone would far outstrip the production of all coffee bio-diesel in the usa.

I didn't perform the analysis, the researchers did, so I can't answer what considerations were exactly made in their calculations. Jack,
