Sundance Renewables is a non-profit-taking workers co-operative that has set up the first community based Biodiesel production plant in the UK. Biodiesel is a fuel made from vegetable oil, and is suitable for use in diesel vehicles hence the name Biodiesel. Sundance run an oil collection scheme, collecting used oil from restaurants and takeaways all over Swansea, which is then processed at their plant to make biodiesel; this biodiesel is not made from food crops and is completely recycled, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to normal diesel.
Sundance is committed to increasing renewable energy systems in Wales and helping community regeneration through a sustainable approach. Sundance are able to design and install the following systems for domestic applications, schools, leisure centres and community schemes: Solar electric (PV), Solar hot water, Wind turbines, Bio-diesel, Small hydro power, Biomass heating systems, CHP (combined heat and power). Additional services include:- feasibility studies, assistance with access to grant funding, and energy audits.
Further Information
Biodiesel is a stable fuel, performs reliably in all diesel engines, cuts emissions, can be mixed with petroleum diesel, is safe to handle, as biodegradable as sugar and less toxic than salt and will work with all diesel storage and pumping stations. No engine modifications are needed to use Biodiesel in most modern vehicles. Most importantly it is a non-polluting fuel, essentially carbon-neutral and with emissions orders of magnitude less then fossil diesel.
