Most people don't think about where their energy comes from.
0:05
Or where their waste goes. People create waste. People also need energy.
0:11
What we do very well is bringing those two things together by taking used cooking
0:15
oil, upcycling it into a fuel that's usable for where people live, work, and play.
0:22
Cities are under pressure to reduce their emissions without sacrificing reliability.
0:26
Reliability is a non-negotiable.
0:28
Nobody wants innovation if the heat doesn't come on.
0:31
So we started looking for local proven solutions.
0:34
Not theories, not ideas, something that we can deploy today.
0:38
I think most people don't understand what happens after the French fries or the fish and chips is done.
0:44
Whenever you're having a Philly cheesesteak down in Philadelphia or you're having
0:48
French fries up here in Boston, you can always feel a little bit less guilty
0:50
because some of that vegetable oil is going to ultimately show up to help heat the
0:53
city. What left the community as waste comes back as energy, and we put it to work
0:58
supporting the cities, providing heat to hospitals, providing heat to businesses
1:02
every day. We provide the steam to the autoclaves and the medical centers in Boston
1:07
and Cambridge that use that steam to disinfect surgical instruments, so the heat must always stay on.
1:13
Being in the heating oil business, you cannot not deliver. People will freeze.
1:18
There'll be major problems if you do not deliver.
1:21
Since 2014, we started shipping heating oil. We haven't missed a load yet.
1:25
We service 70 million square feet in the Boston and Cambridge area.
1:29
We supply heat to many of the major metropolitan medical areas, lots of lab space,
1:34
commercial buildings, residential.
1:36
Which means we don't have to choose between environmental responsibility and reliable energy.
1:43
And that is a future worth building.
