Don't Throw Away Used Vegetable Oil

Imagine knowing that fat can be used as a resource to power everything in our daily life, but now in a more efficient way. Scientists are now looking for other fossil fuel sources that are healthier. Scientists are getting lucky because fat can be used!. Fat can be used for the future, in case our other resources are coming short. It has been concluded that hydrogen is a cleaner, and an alternative to fossil fuels. Hydrogen has to be made, in order to be used. Hydrogen can now be made by the used vegetable oil that are thrown away by many restaurants, takeaways etc. Scientists have found a way to make hydrogen from vegetable oil in a two stage process. The first thing that they would do is that a nickel catalyst is blasted into the air that will eventually transform itself into nickel oxide. Then the fuel and steam, once heated, will react with the hot nickel oxide and will eventually form hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The second stage deals with the carbon dioxide being trapped by a special absorbent material, which will trap the carbon dioxide and leave the hydrogen alone.

Knowing that fat can be used a source for making more hydrogen to energize what we use in our daily lives is incredible. This article relates to the biology concept of using hydrogen, an element, to power all electrical machines without harming the environment. Hydrogen is an element that is the lightest element in the periodic table and is combined with oxygen to form water. Water is the main source of all life on Earth. The environment all over the world differs, but there is one main goal that all environmentalists want everyone to follow: to protect our environment for all of the animals, plants and ourselves to live there. This article also relates to the concept in that fat can now be used to create hydrogen. Fat is animal tissue that has loose flesh. Fats are not soluble in water. Vegetable oil consists of fat. Vegetable oil is used when making french fries, burgers, any food that requires vegetable oil.

Hydrogen is an element that is used everywhere. Vegetable can be used for all types of foods, but for a future source of energy fuel, is remarkable. This article was put on the magazine because that way we can be informed that there are other sources of energy that can be used to provide us with energy in the future. We should care about this discovery because knowing that used vegetable oil can be used as an energy source can benefit us in a huge way. A great benefit of knowing this is that we now know that everytime we have any left over used oil, we can know for sure that it can power our everyday life engines. Vegetable oil can power our cars, charge our cell phones, refrigerate our food, provide heat for our family, light etc. So let's try to use other resources to power all we need, and a great way to begin is by not throwing away that oil.
