How To Make Biodiesel

- By Dan M. Carter & Jon Halle

Description:
Maria "Mark" Alovert gave by far the best description of this book.
Here's what she had to say about it.

"Buy this book to explain your biodiesel obsession to your friends- this is a fairly small, concise book, and thus it's an easy read for people who are just starting to become interested in the topic. It may be a better general introduction for your 'mildly curious' friends than even Greg Pahl's biodiesel industry history book "Biodiesel: Growing a New Energy Economy" (which I also strongly recommend but which is a longer read).

I think that as a general introduction, this book is a perfect replacement for "From the Fryer to the Fuel Tank"- it's got about the same ratio of 'general overview information' to homebrew information (ie the homebrew chapter is relatively short compared to the rest of the book)- but the info in the Low IMpact Living INitiative book is much more accurate and well-presented than Tickell's book was."

Description:

Biodiesel Handling And Use Guidelines

- By U.S. Government

Description:
The National Renewable Energy Lab published this great guide in 2004. It is one of the best publications out there for learning how biodiesel should be handled and the proper ways it can be used in a commercial environment. It covers topics such as gel points, ASTM Guidelines, storage, emissions, blending, and other important issues regarding using, handling, transporting, selling, and consuming biodiesel.

The guide is actually available as a free PDF Download at the main NREL site. Click Here to go to the download page. The guide available here is a nice ring-bound version of the guidelines that the U.S. Government publishes and makes available.

I've personally read this whole guide and highly recommend it. Especially to anyone looking to use biodiesel in a commercial setting. The documented research studies presented in the guide are a wonderful resource to have on hand. I refer back to my copy quite often.

The Soapmaker's Companion
A Comprehensive Guide With Recipes,
Techniques & Know-How

- Susan Miller Cavitch

Description:
This is by far the best book to get you started in soap making. If you're serious about using your glycerine to make soap, you'll want this book. With great illustrations and over 40 recipes for different specialty soaps, there's a great chance you'll find a favorite soap bar here. The book has an excellent section on the chemistry of soapmaking that is easy to understand and will even help you when making biodiesel. It has great descriptions about the different kinds of oils that can be used to make soap, which, coincidentally, are very similar to the oils that can be used to make biodiesel.

I highly recommend this book as a great starter for getting into making soap. From making basic soaps to the most advanced techniques, it's all here in an easy to read and understand format. Not only will you be making biodiesel, but you'll be able to use your by-product of an already recycled product to make another recycled product; soap!. How's that for being resourceful?
