The company will employ its technology to convert fats, oils and grease (FOG) into B100 biodiesel fuel, which will power school buses, city vehicles and machinery.
Fogfuels will work with independent haulers in the Metro Atlanta area to obtain trap grease generated from restaurants and institutional sources to be used as feedstock.
City of Atlanta Councilman Lamar Willis noted, "Atlanta is excited to be working with a company like FOGFUELS that can help clean up the city’s water and wastewater system and make it safer for the citizens."
Fogfuels managing director Paul Marshall remarked that the company will work with the city to offer a cleaner and novel energy generating source.
"Working with the independent haulers in the city to gather the problematic trap grease and turn that into a cleaner source of energy is a great way to help the city become more environmentally friendly," Marshall added.
The haulers will dump their trap grease at the company’s inner city processing center, in compliance with City ordinances.
Fogfuels will also work in partnership with other municipalities around the country to prevent illegal grease dumping.
