Comments: No
Bently Biofuels Company in Minden, Nevada collects used cooking oil from restaurants and turns it into biodiesel – a renewable, domestically produced, environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum diesel fuel. Carbon emissions released from biodiesel are 78 to 85 percent lower than emissions from petroleum fuels. If used in place of petroleum diesel, Bently’s 2012 production of biodiesel would offset 9.6 million pounds of CO2 emissions – the equivalent of taking 820 cars off the road for one year. In addition to preventing waste and lowering CO2 emissions, Bently is able to compost almost all of the waste products from the biodiesel plant, and use the composted leftovers to fertilize farm fields.
