Conserving energy through used oil recovery and recycle: a plan for metropolitan Alabama
TL;DRAbstract
Used oil recycling in Alabama could result in the conservation of 17 million gallons per year of automotive and industrial oils or 2 x 10/sup 12/ Btu of equivalent energy. The non-commercial sources of used automotive oil and ways of conserving the associated energy value through a recycling program are discussed. Included are basic guidelines for the establishment of programs in 11 metropolitan areas of Alabama which could account for over 40% of the total used oil in Alabama or over 60% of the automotive used oil. Survey data illustrating that Alabama is a prime candidate to successfully implement a program, and reference to a model used oil recycling act are also included. Results of a metropolitan area survey for Tuscaloosa, Alabama, are also presented.
