Tallahassee begins using restaurant grease for biodiesel
WCTV reports that the city of Tallahassee in Florida has begun using used restaurant grease as an ingredient in the fuel that runs some city vehicles. Some of the grease, which is a key ingredient in biodiesel, comes from Barnacle Bill’s. The restaurant uses over 350 pounds of cooking oil weekly and used to have to pay to get it hauled away, but now the city does it for free. Tallahassee city officials say Panama City is also developing a cooking oil-to-biodiesel conversion plant.
