Petaluma, CA: In the city, waste becomes fuel!
Applications and technologies
Petaluma is a city in California which in recent years has experienced an increase in population and the birth of new industrial enterprises.

The various innovations adopted by the latter include the installation of a biogas plant that transforms liquid waste (waste water, oils, fats and other liquids used for food and beverage processing) into fuel to power the city’s waste collection vehicle fleet!
