Dear List. 

Hope this does not stray to far from our objective of sustainable renewable energy. 

While in Norway I met with a company called Milvenn (www.milvenn.no <http://www.milvenn.no>) that produces biodiesel from Mcdonalds and other fast food's grease. One of the byproducts is Glycerol which is, according to management at Milvenn a disposal headache. 

Discussion we had was; Can this stuff be processed through a gasification or pyrolysis system to produce energy instead of dumping in a landfill, something no likes to do. I'm aware that Glycerin can be used to make some products but IF it can be used for energy, this would be better. 

I would appreciate feedback on this issue. Thanks in Advance.
