What if we converted the world’s obese population into biodiesel?

r/

The world currently has around 8,200,000,000 people (8.2 billion) but only 16% is obese.
That gives us 1.32

    Maybe we could just put permanent liposuction ports into everyone with a BMI over 25 and start pumping when diesel prices rise?

    On average, an obese person is about 45 pounds overweight, which is about 150k excess calories. This is roughly equal to the energy in 20 liters of gasoline. You can do the rest of the math.

    (I assume you’re talking about converting EXCESS weight, right???)

    I worked in a bioD plant designed for soybean oil. There was a (manipulated) price spike for our feedstock, so we did some production runs on high grade pig fat-it can be done.
