Kiwi lambs poised to be processed into bio-diesel blend

New Zealand may soon be processing its huge excess of lamb fat into bio-diesel.

The Kiwis currently produce 140,000 tonnes of animal fat each year from their meatworks.

United Kingdom bio-diesel producer Argent Energy is investigating, with oil companies Shell and Chevron, a plant to process 75,000 tonnes of the lamb chop trimmings to produce 85 million litres of bio-diesel a year.
