sources, but a process has also been
successfully developed whereby animal
fats are used in the production
of fuels (biofuels and biodiesel). This
involves mixing tallow, in a similar
way to vegetable oils, with methanol,
to create a fatty acid methyl ester
(FAME). The production of this ‚animal’
FAME complies with applicable
standards (EN 14214) and its quality
is at least as high as that of “vegetable”
FAME. The exception is the
CFPP (cold-filter plugging point). It
is due to the natural difference
between fat and oil that fats, or fatty
methyl esters, enter the solid state
more quickly than oils and vegetable
oil methyl esters, with falling temperature.
This parameter is, however,
insignificant in the context of its use
as a component of mineral oil-based
diesel.
The production of biodiesel from tallow
has made it possible to exploit a
by-product of the agriculture and
meat production industries, for
which only restricted markets formerly
existed, by using it to produce
high quality biofuels. To use the

terms of the currently ongoing discussion
of first and second-generation
biofuels, this biodiesel constitutes
the second generation, since it
is made from by-products and not
from vegetable oils that have been
produced especially for this market.
Accordingly, the ecobalance of
biodiesel made from tallow is better
than that of vegetable oil methyl
esters. In particular, the CO 2 balance
of tallow methyl esters places this
biodiesel on the same level as synthetic
biofuel, which is intended to
be produced in future on the basis of
so-called “biomass to liquid” technology.
Neither is there a food vs. fuel conflict,
since the fats that we intend to
employ are not admissible for human
consumption. No animals are bred or
fattened especially for the production
of biodiesel. Their value as a source
of human food is far too high. Only
by-products of meat processing
activities are used.
The use of tallow as a substitute
energy source or as a source material
for the production of fuel opens up a
whole new environmentally favourable
method of utilising fat. And what
