The device trans forms renewable sources such as vegetable and soybean oil and ani mal fat into petroleum-based fuel. “It’s a brilliant product to invest in because in the next 100 years I cannot see another outcome instead of switching to biofuels,” Baker said. He said the project is designed to spread the word about biodiesel and involve the commu nity- in learning about a feasible petroleum alternative. To promote the importance of biodiesel, Baker and SURGE lead er Julian Bach plan to use a donat ed diesel vehicle aptly named “Fuelmeister” to travel to area schools and educate their peers.
