DCEN LUNCHEON: DC Biofuels Plant

DCEN LUNCHEON: DC Biofuels Plant

The DC Environmental Network invites all metro-based environmentalists to a brown bag luncheon.

featuring:

- Wendell Jenkens, President & CEO, DC Biofuels

- Chris Weiss, Executive Director, DC Environmental Network

Join us August 4th at Noon at Global Green USA, 1100 15th Street NW, 11th Floor - Near Farragut North & McPherson Square Metro.

Wendell Jenkens, President & CEO of DC Biofuels, will discuss plans to build a large biodiesel plant in Washington, DC. Biodiesel is the name of a clean burning alternative fuel, produced from domestic, renewable resources. Biodiesel is produced from any fat or oil through a process called transesterification. The DC plant will recycle used animal fats, vegetable oils & greases (FOG) from urban waste streams.

Initial plans are to produce "clean & green" biofuel for centrally-fueled public and private flees. The DC Biofuels state-of-the-art production facility will process multiple FOG feedstocks, including "waste" vegetable oils (WVO), yellow grease, and brown grease, producing high-quality biodiesel (ASTM D 6751) and will be BQ900 certified. The facility will blend biodiesel with Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) that meets ASTM D 975 specifications based upon a  customer's requirements. The finished blend will be treated with NOx-reducing & other performance-enhancing additives.

Wendell will discuss key benefits of using biodiesel including:

- A healthier, cleaner-burning fuel to petrol diesel;

- Can be produced from recycled and organic ingredients;

- Can be used interchangeably in any diesel application, with little or no modifications;

- Biodiesel is a non toxic, non flammable, biodegradable product unlike dirty diesel;

- and enables sustainable local economic growth and eases our dependence on foreigh oil.

All are welcome to attend.
