I am looking for like-minded individuals in the West Chester, PA or Chester County, Pennsylvania area who are interested in partnering to make biodiesel. I have secured two WVO sources, and one has recently asked if I would be interested in accepting more oil from some other restaurants with whom he has connections. I currently collect between 20 and 40 gallons of WVO per week (one source is very variable), which more than meets my current needs. This new offer would require some else to help consume the fuel, as well as assist with pick-up and production.
My Appleseed is currently set-up in my unheated and uninsulated garage. With the recent drop in temps, my oil has completely frozen, making production all but impossible. As such, I am looking to find an alternative site for production. Any number of scenarios could work:
- The most ideal would be to partner with someone with a detached heated garage or barn. The work and fuel could be split up appropriately.
- A space-for-fuel arrangement. I'd be willing to pay someone in fuel for a small footprint of space in which to set-up my processor.
- Rent space. If I could partner with one or more individuals I'd be willing to pay a reasonable fee to rent space somewhere.
- Many other possibilities exist.
Perhaps with enough interest and commitment, we could start a biodiesel co-op. Thanks!
