Energy Vision just launched a study of New York City’s potential to turn trash into fuel – and New York is excited:

New York City’s Department of Sanitation Commissioner John Doherty agrees that the findings are impressive, and says that his department will work with Energy Vision on this important issue. “DSNY looks forward to working with Energy Vision to explore opportunities for converting the City’s organic waste into transportation fuel for public and private fleets. If this strategy is found to make economic and environmental sense, it could contribute to the City’s long-term sustainability and energy independence,” said NYC Sanitation Commissioner Doherty.
