While the debate about the environment continues to roll on, the debate about the use of “green†fuel has also been reignited of late. Despite a vast array of promises from the governments of the world, global warming and the environment are still very hot topics.
Many promises have yet to be fulfilled, and there is more and more pressure being exerted by the “green “ parties.

By using a mixture of the firm’s cooking oil and rapeseed oil the company expect to reduce their carbon emissions by some 1,650 tonnes a year!
So can the public play their part?
While many have mocked the promotion of “Green†issues designed to help the environment and improve standards of living, does “Going Green†really equate to massive savings for the consumer?
