BBR Opening Biodiesel Refinery

US - Batchelder Biodiesel Refineries (BBR), formed 2 years ago, is to open a refinery in Nashua New Hampshire on Wednesday this week.

A second refinery is planned for Keene next year.

BBR has perfected their refining process to include yellow and brown grease taken from the surrounding communities.

BBR has developed a state of the art process to convert this waste grease into 100 per cent ASTM certified biofuel as well as bioheat.

Both processes meet and exceed ASTM D6751 standards.

Because BBR uses waste grease to create their product there is no "food vs. fuel" controversy, as there is with using non-waste products such as ethanol from corn.

By using a waste stream BBR says it is diverting a product that would ultimately be disposed of in a land fill.

BBR is also currently in the process of working with Keene State College and the City of Keene in a collaboration known as The Monadnock Biodiesel Collaborative (MBC) to bring green fuels to the Monadnock region.
