Human fat from liposuction to power vehicles PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 08 December 2006
A Miami, Florida based businessman, Lauri Venoy, is in talks with a local hospital about buying human fat removed in liposuction procedures, for use in biodiesel engines in trucks and boats. The agreement with the Jackson Memorial Hospital will lead to it supplying about 11,500 litres of human fat each week, after it has been sterilised.
The hospital is understood to be building a storage tank for the human fat, to enable the biodiesel fuel company to collect the fat in commercial quantities.

Venoy, originally from Norway but living in Florida since 1988, currently sources his raw material from restaurants and ships, but believes that the human fat removed in liposuction procedures will be a valuable source of power for engines. Currently the hospital disposes of fat from liposuction procedures through an incinerator.

More than sixty percent of Americans are overweight, and liposuction is the most popular plastic surgery procedure in the country, so the businessman believes he may be tapping into a valuable, and plentiful supply of energy.

One physicist commented that this may be a contribution to perpetual motion:

"The more people drive, the less exercise they get. The less exercise they get, the fatter they become. The fatter they become, the more they need liposuction. The more they need liposuction, the more fuel is available to power their cars. And so it goes."
