    Fish-cake cooking oil converted to bio-diesel fuel in Miyagi

    SENDAI, Japan - The city of Shiogama, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan's largest fish-cake processing base, has been producing bio-diesel from cooking oil disposed by fish-cake makers in the city, selling the product at 105 yen per liter, substantially cheaper than ordinary diesel sold at gas filling stations. Each year, fish-cake makers in Shiogama dispose of more than 500,000 liters of used cooking oil, which had been sold to outside dealers for use as fat in pet food or as ink solvent. The city started converting used cooking oil to bio-diesel in November 2006 with subsidies from the Ministry of Environment.
