SarTec Corp of Minneapolis, Minnesota has perfected the production of diesel fuel from pond scum. The 3-year project produces 1,000 barrels of diesel fuel per week from restaurant waste, damaged crops and algae utilizing mobile technology.
StarTec is positioned to be a vital source of alternative fuel. Their innovative approach has the potential to secure necessary alternative fuels and reduce toxic emissions.
Clayton McNeff, owner of StarTec Corp also plans to open a "two-reactor" pilot plant which can produce up to 4 million gallons of biodiesel per year, significantly reducing the carbon footprint and employing hundreds of workers.
