Biodiesel Refinery Powered by Landfill-Gas Methane

Every biofuel production facility would do well to considering powering production with landfill gas, biomass gasification, manure-derived methane, and other renewable resources now being wasted. While it's true that natural gas powered refineries are now making money, this could easily change with rising natural gas cost. Biodiesel Industries and the city of Denton are on the leading edge of what should become a growing trend. -- Jeffrey Goettemoeller

"Project of the Year: Alternate Fuel. Biodiesel Industries and City of Denton, Texas -- Landfill gas powers a 3 million gallon biodiesel production facility at the City of Denton's landfill. The biodiesel is used to power the city's truck fleet, which is the first-time landfill gas has been used in the biodiesel production process."
