DOE researchers investigate economic and environmental impacts of converting wet waste to renewable diesel

Green Car Congress

Given the nature of wet waste resources that requires dedicated waste management practices to collect, store, treat, and dispose of the waste, shifting the waste resources from going through conventional waste management practices to utilization as feedstocks for energy production may represent an avoided cost of waste management and disposal.
