SarTec Corp of Minneapolis, Minnesota has perfected the production of diesel fuel from pond scum.  The 3-year project produces 1,000 barrels of diesel fuel per week from restaurant waste, damaged crops and algae utilizing mobile technology.

StarTec is positioned to be a vital source of alternative fuel. Their innovative approach has the potential to secure necessary alternative fuels and reduce toxic emissions.

Clayton McNeff, owner of StarTec Corp also plans to open a “two-reactor” pilot plant which can produce up to 4 million gallons of biodiesel per year, significantly reducing the carbon footprint and employing hundreds of workers.

“The technology for treating algae oil traditionally produces soap,” McNeff said. “We can take the free-fatty acids and turn them into fuel, as well as the waste streams coming off biodiesel and ethanol plants.” (bostonherald)
