Biogenic fuels
Renewable biogenic fuels are bridging the clean energy gap and uplifting local communities.
What are biogenic fuels?
An alternative to fossil fuels
A truly circular solution, Vicinity is using the waste discarded by the local food service industry to generate steam, which is used to heat and cool businesses and institutions in the very same communities from which it came.
The green impact of biogenic fuels
The benefits of transitioning to this carbon neutral biogenic fuel source are numerous, and include:
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by over 80%
versus distillate fuel, and improving local air quality by reducing nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides and particulate emissions
Recycling hundreds of thousands of gallons of food service industry
waste oil into energy that would otherwise be discarded in landfills or city sewers
Significantly reducing Vicinity's distillate fuel use
cutting carbon emissions by thousands of tons
Expanding our partners’ operations into new urban communities
resulting in job creation, recycling programs, cost savings for local restaurants, and sustainability benefits for the community
Keeping waste out
of the municipal water systems and landfills
