Fuel From Fat; there goes our beef folks!

HOUSTON — Oil major ConocoPhillips and Tyson Foods Inc., the world's largest meat producer, said Monday they were teaming up to produce and market diesel fuel for U.S. trucking fleets using beef, pork and poultry fat. The companies said they've been collaborating over the past year on ways to leverage Tyson's expertise in protein chemistry and production with ConocoPhillips' processing and marketing knowledge to introduce a renewable diesel fuel with lower carbon emissions than petroleum-based fuels.
