LA Sanitation Districts to Convert Food Waste into RNG for Transport
December 2, 2020 - Dinner scraps, spoiled fruit, and vegetables from supermarkets and restaurants are being processed into renewable vehicle fuel by the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts.
The Sanitation Districts have been converting food waste into electricity for over six years, but have now launched a biogas purification system to recycle the waste into renewable vehicle fuel.
“With this new biogas purification system, we now also produce renewable natural gas (RNG) that is used to fuel vehicles like cars, buses, and trucks,” said Robert C Ferrante, chief engineer and general manager for the Sanitation Districts.
