The project will divert approximately 550,000 metric tons of waste that otherwise would go to a landfill while producing jet fuel with lower emissions of greenhouse gases and local pollutants than petroleum-based fuels. These offtakes are in addition to the facility producing all of its own energy to operate the facility.
