Where have you people been the last 9 years???

Texas BioDiesel, Inc. :: Our Technology
A Solid Catalyst Unlike the Rest - Biodiesel Magazine
Solid Catalyst to Convert Algae into Biodiesel - Oilgae.com

I can't located the specific one now but originally it was announced on the original from the fryer to the fuel tank forums about several scientists that had a solid catalyst method where the catalyst was not used up but their funding was pulled by the government, a few years later a company offering the systems large scale popped up. This has been at least 4 years ago and the fryer article was probably 9 years ago.

Anyway there are MANY solid catalyst methods floating around, I just can't find the one I remember. I will keep looking
