A new building in Independence, Oregon, dubbed the “world’s greenest building” will make and use its own biodiesel.
Among the environmentally-friendly aspects of the 57,000 square-foot building will be the use of biodiesel. Aldeia founder/developer Steven Ribeiro said he’s “been a bathtub biodiesel guy since the ‘70s.” He plans to produce biodiesel on-site from yellow grease collected at local restaurants. Ribeiro will also purchase B99 from Oregon-based SeQuential-Pacific Biofuels. “We’re very excited to be a part of the project,” said Gavin Carpenter, SeQuential’s sales manager. “They’re doing some pretty cool stuff.”
