Fuel

Peter Nieuwenhuizen discusses his new role as vice president of technology strategy and deployment at Enerkem.

The city is using the biogas emitted from organic waste to fuel the city’s collection trucks.

Under the terms of a new contract, all non-recyclable waste generated at one of the manufacturer's production plants will be transported to BioHiTech's Martinsburg HEBioT facility for processing.

Once up and running, the plant is expected to recover 80 percent of the plastic, cardboard and other materials it receives.

EPA will hold a public hearing on October 30, followed by a 30-day public comment period from the date of the hearing.

The facility utilizes Entsorga Italia’s proprietary high-efficiency biological treatment MBT system to make solid recovered fuel.

Beginning in 2020, EPA will propose and request public comment on expanding biofuel requirements.
