Edmonton, Alberta, to Turn Most Trash Into Biofuels

In Edmonton, Alberta, one man’s trash will soon be another man’s gas. In late August the city officially started construction on what’s being touted as the world’s first industrial-level municipal waste-to-biofuels facility.

The $80 million facility, expected to come online late next year, will convert 100,000 tons of the city’s trash a year over to 9.5 million gallons of biofuel.
