Biodiesel now available in Atlanta 24/7
August 16, 2007 at 4:51 pm by Mara Shalhoup in NewsThanks to the addition of swipe-card technology, Atlanta’s only biodiesel station is open around the clock to any of you who drive diesels.
The station, located at 250 Arizona Ave. just south of DeKalb Avenue, offers 100 percent, eco-friendly biodiesel (as opposed to a biodiesel-diesel blend) and can be mixed with regular diesel. It sells for $3 a gallon.
The fuel is created locally by the group Refuel Biodiesel, whose website states:
We collect used cooking oil produced by Atlanta area restaurants and kitchens, and process it locally into biodiesel for the Atlanta market. Our locally-based production model aids local waste management and significantly decreases the energy costs associated with feedstock and fuel transportation. Furthermore, because we are part of a nonprofit organization, all proceeds from the Refuel program are used to promote responsible energy solutions in the southeast.
