Clean-efficient technology is being used in a new way at a plant in Rialto, California. They have found a way to turn your sewage into fuel.
It's a million dollar "green" investment project. The Entertech Gas Company is successfully converting about 883 tons of sewage sludge into 60,000 tons of renewable fuel each year.
Rus Miller, Entertech, says, "It's a biological source of energy that will displace greenhouse gases."
Entertech is the first commercial biosolids plant of its kind. The plant replaces coal and produces e-fuel as a renewable waste. At current natural gas prices, Entertech will save about 900,000 a year.
