Contract Wins: Fogfuels, Dallas Schools, U. Mich., Tri-Tech

Fogfuels is to use its patented process to transform fats, oils and grease into B100 biodiesel fuel to power school buses, vehicles and machinery operated by the City of Atlanta. The company will work with independent haulers in the metropolitan Atlanta area to receive trap grease generated by restaurants and institutional sources. The waste will be received at the Fogfuels processing center where it will be converted to B100 biodiesel fuel. This facility will encourage haulers to remain compliant with City ordinances while resulting in significant reductions in their operating costs due to reduced tipping fees and transportation costs, Fogfuels says.
