Electricity from Animal Waste
US - A company based near the Woodlands has broken into the renewable energy market by converting animal and vegetable waste into electricity.Bio Fuels Power once hoped to make renewable fuel for vehicles but changed because high commodity prices made the process too expensive according to a My Fox report.
The company is converting low cost feedstock such as pig lard and chicken fat into a biofuel that could be burned to produce electrical power.
"Power generation does not need the quality fuel thats required for transportation," says Bio Fuels Power founder Steve McGuire told My Fox.
Two Bio Fuels Power generating plants with a combined capacity of 15 megawatts are currently pumping electricity directly into the Texas grid.
"The exhaust is clean and clear, so there are no emissions," says BFP'S CEO Fred O'Conner.
The company believes their pilot plants can be reproduced across the country reducing pollution and dependence on fossil fuels.
