Edmonton, Alberta, to Turn Most Trash Into Biofuels
September 15, 2010 /
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. According to the city, that will reduce Alberta’s carbon footprint by 6 million tons over the next 25 years. That’s equal to taking 42,000 cars off the road every year.
