U.S. Foodservice-Atlanta Begins Fueling Fleet With Biodiesel

/PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Foodservice-Atlanta has become the first major foodservice distributor in Georgia to run its entire delivery fleet on biodiesel fuel.

All of the Atlanta division's 185 tractors and 210 trailers began using biodiesel fuel last week following its first 7,500-gallon delivery of B5, a blend of diesel containing 5 percent biodiesel, a form of diesel fuel made from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled restaurant greases. Biodiesel is a sustainable, renewable alternative to diesel fuel which can dramatically reduce greenhouse gases and other emissions.

"Utilizing biodiesel is a continuation of our ongoing environmental strategy," said John Leake, president of U.S. Foodservice-Atlanta. "Improving our overall impact on the environment - while helping our customers find effective ways to do the same - not only makes good business sense, it's the right thing to do."

The biodiesel fuel costs on average about a penny more per gallon. Its use is expected to reduce the U.S. Foodservice-Atlanta fleet's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by nearly 788,000 pounds - or about 4 percent - annually. That's roughly the equivalent of taking 65 cars off the road or of planting more than 3,150 trees every year.

The biodiesel is locally sourced and refined, a product of S.A. White Oil Co. of Marietta.

U.S. Foodservice-Atlanta is active with and has a leadership role in several local, regional and state efforts to promote and protect the environment including the Georgia DNR Project, Partnership for a Sustainable Georgia and the Atlanta Zero Waste Zone. The division, which serves the entire state of Georgia and operations in parts of the five bordering states of Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina, already has a number of "green" achievements to its credit. These include:

-- Reducing electrical consumption by 18 percent with the use of T8
fluorescent lamps in its warehouse operations.
-- Decreasing waste by 55 percent through recovery and recycling
programs.
-- Saving fuel by decreasing truck idle time below 2 percent.


Atlanta is the third U.S. Foodservice division to use biodiesel in its fleet. It joins divisions in Streator, Ill., and Plymouth, Minn.

New U.S. Company Turns Liquid Waste into Fuel

(BUSINESS WIRE)--MagneGas Corporation, approved to be quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board on September 30, 2008, symbol “MNGA” (OTCBB:MNGA), announces that it has signed an exclusive and all-encompassing license with HyFuels, Inc. for the MagneGas Technology for North, South, Central America and the Caribbean Islands. This intellectual property consists of all relevant present and future patents, patent applications, trademarks and domain names. The license also includes an exclusive option for the purchase of all related patents, patent applications and intellectual property.

MagneGas is a cost competitive, clean-burning natural gas alternative made from liquid waste. The patented Plasma Arc Flow™ system gasifies liquid waste such as sewage, sludge, manure and certain industrial and oil-based liquid wastes. The development of this cost competitive fuel is the result of the hard work of former Harvard scientist Ruggero Santilli.

“We are extremely excited about this technology. We can now create our own fuel while we recycle liquid waste,” Dr. Santilli says. “Today’s gas prices are a clear sign why we need to start looking seriously at alternative fuel sources like MagneGas.”

The Plasma Arc Flow refinery uses a patented electrical process to decompose the liquid waste molecules into atoms, and the atoms are then recombined into MagneGas. The system creates this hydrogen-based natural gas alternative, which can power bi-fuel cars running on natural gas, cooking grills, industrial equipment, and homes. It is also an ideal metal cutting and welding fuel that independent users rate as more precise and effective than other metal cutting fuels on the market today. MagneGas exhaust has been independently certified to surpass all E.P.A. requirements without a catalytic converter, making it dramatically cleaner then fossil fuel.
