This Saturday the New York Times jumped on the biodiesel bandwagon, publishing this article on Jim Nornman and his experience driving a car powered by vegetable oil.  Here at Nextbillion, we have covered biodiesel and its use in the developing world on two separate occasions—in Rwanda’s prisons and in South Africa’s automobiles.  Now I would like to cover it once more.  After doing a few quick google searches, I discovered several news stories on a Vietnamese company doing some interesting business.  The company is Agifish, a catfish processor in the Mekong Delta, which recently announced that it would begin producing biodiesel from left over catfish guts.
