Happy Wednesday! We hope everyone had a good July 4th holiday.
Did anyone read The Houston
Chronicle’s Texas Inc. Section on Sunday, July 2, 2023, they
reprinted an article from the Miami Herald titled, “Grease at Miami
eateries turned into biodiesel fuel”? In
the article, it speaks about the how there are hundreds of franchises of Filta around
the world, and how they are helping with alternative energy solutions. There are three local Filtas which go to many
commercial kitchens in restaurants, businesses, universities, and medical
facilities in the Miami-Dade County area which then clean their oil fryers by
filtering, and when it cannot be filtered any further removes it, so it can be
recycled in biodiesel. The local area Filtas
then ship the used cooking oil to Louisiana fuel refiner for processing. The cooking oil can then be used in biodiesel
and sustainable jet fuel. The biodiesel is
mixed with standard diesel to make a low-carbon fuel. Filta is one of many companies which collects
cooking oil for this purpose, and this is one way for helping reduce emissions
in our journey to net-zero emissions. If you would like to read more of the article
