Fly Larvae Feedstock for Food Scrap-based Biodisel

This is very cool. A company called EcoSystem Corp. has introduced a MAGFUEL biofuel feedstock model that uses the larvae of Black Soldier Flies to metabolize food scrap waste.

Two reasons this is cool: first, it's all natural--no chemicals; second, this makes a great blending agent to increase the flow properties during lower-temperature operations of biofuels.

Cold "gelling" of many bio-based diesel products such as soy or tallow oil diesels is one of the biggest reasons most biodiesel blends use regular petroleum diesel in their mix. Other petroleum-based products like alcohols are also often added.
