| Using Gorse to make biodiesel...
Gorse, aka ulex europaeus, grows wild in coastal regions of the state of Oregon in USA (i.e., the Pacific Northwest). Many say gorse can be pressed for oil and reacted (transesterification) with methanol to make biodiesel. I have found no one who has done it, however. Has anyone on this forum made biodiesel from gorse? If yes, could they comment on pros and cons of gorse oil. If not, does anyone have a link to anyone, or group, that has made biodiesel from gorse? I understand it grows in Australia and New Zealand.
