Trenton Fuel Works

Trenton Fuel Works is planning to convert a never-used sewer plant in Trenton for production of either a patented fuel blend for flexible fuel vehicles or a cellulosic biodiesel for use in trucks, buses, and farm equipment.  The plant will make its products from not only food waste, but any manures, yard waste, grass clippings, leaves, or non-recyclable paper.  Trenton Fuel Works is the first U.S. commercialization of a patented, EPA award winning, biofuels technology that thermochemically converts organic waste into renewable and environmentally friendly products.  If this facility is successful, other plants will be in development in the years ahead.
