Piedmont Biofuels scores RSB certification as well

February 27, 2013 |

In North Carolina, Piedmont Biofuels of Pittsboro has been certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels. Piedmont Biofuels collects used cooking oil from restaurants in the Research Triangle Park area and uses it to produce biodiesel that it sells locally through seven filling stations. SCS Global Services’ assessment included an inspection of the biodiesel plant and several of the filling stations as well as verification that the company’s biodiesel reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 70% compared to conventional diesel fuel. For instance, Piedmont Biofuels has lowered its already low carbon footprint by operating an efficient automobile fleet and by deploying both active and passive solar equipment and strategies.
