520			_a"In a spacious building on the campus of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), huge, glistening stainless-steel tanks begin another busy day of experiments with vegetable oil....These days, scientists in Brazil's second largest city are taking used fryer oil, donated by Rio's McDonalds restaurants, and filtering it, mixing it with chemical catalysts, then ultimately transforming the former fryer oil into biodiesel fuel: a golden-colored, clean-burning fuel suitable for diesel-powered vehicles. Biodiesel fuel can also be made from renewable oils such as sunflower, soy, peanut, or the world's most ubiquitous oil source--used fryer oil." (AMERICAS) This article discusses how "scientists in many universities in Brazil, in conjunction with the government and private industries, are exploring how to move the country to the forefront of alternative fuel," noting that "Brazil's climate offers fertile opportunities for a variety of oleaginous, or oil-producing crops, with the potential of boosting the economy at a time when the world community is confronting rising fuel prices and decreasing sources of petroleum."
