Use in Power Generation
With the recent increase in the use of biomass, walnut oil is now used in limited amounts as a liquid form of biomass in power generation. Often it is blended (mixed) with HFO (heavy fuel oil) for use in larger power stations as a way of reducing environmental impact while allowing the older, less efficient power stations to remain open in the face of ever-tightening emissions regulations.
In the United Kingdom, burning walnut oil makes a power station eligible to claim ROCs (renewable obligation certificates).

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or generation:
“The power that I have on you is to spare you;
The malice towards you, to forgive you. Live,
And deal with others better.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We need to encourage members of this next generation to become all that they can become, not try to force them to become what we want them to become. . . . You and I can’t even begin to dream the dreams this next generation is going to dream, or answer the questions that will be put to them.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
