Developers of Biodiesel Fuel Refinery Say It Will Mitigate Toxic Effects on School Children
by Jessica Tempfer (StGeorgeUtah.com) Biodiesel fuel could soon be supporting Southern Utah’s economy and would also help sustain cleaner air and a healthier environment.
Such is the goal of Anderwood Ventures, a company working toward economic growth in Southern Utah through alternative fuel development and clean energy projects.
Currently, the company is working on creating premium quality biodiesel fuel from 100 percent waste material. The refinery would be established on land in the Fort Pierce area of St. George. It will release no emissions, Anderwood Ventures Vice President Woody Woodbury said, and every bit of recycled material will be used. There is no waste, he said.

Along with cutting our health risks, biodiesel has many other benefits. By collecting trap grease, which would normally go to the landfill, Anderwood Ventures is able to recycle used oil and use it for economic benefit and help save the environment.
Unprocessed greases are considered a nonhazardous waste, Woodbury said. When you process that used grease, 80 percent is water, the water can then be recycled to nutrient-rich water that can be added back into Washington County’s water system. READ MORE
