Disneyland’s Trains Now Running on Its Restaurant’s Waste Oil-Biodiesel

Written on February 3, 2009

Domestic Fuel reports that Florida’s Disneyland is now using leftover waste oil from its restaurants to produce biodiesel for the theme park’s trains. Although park officials previously tried a green initiative by using soy-based biodiesel, underground storage problems caused those measures to be scrapped. This is good because it eliminates the food versus fuel issue as well as capitalizes on a waste-to-fuel approach. Eventually park officials hope to use the waste oil-based biodiesel to power a steamboat, some cleaning equipment, and light towers at the park.
