[AT] Canola to diesel

[carl gogol]

Anyone else hearing interesting things about converting Canola to diesel 
fuel?  I believe that one efficiency study that said ethanol from corn was 
18% energy positive calculated canola to diesel was in the range of 400%, 
using the same protocols.  Please don't hold me to these being the exact 
numbers, but the economics of canola are much more favorable.  It may have 
even been the Cornell study, but I think that their result was the ethanol 
from corn was about 20% to the bad.  Canola is easy to grow (at least in the 
northern states and Canada) requires few inputs and is weather tolerant.  I 
know there is a small group in this area that is trying it on a very small 
scale, but are just getting underway.
Anyone else doing anything with Canola?
