San Francisco's Dogpatch Biofuels Showcase


As a huge supporter of the Green movement, from home products to commercial production in sustainable fashion, it's always important to pay respect to the people pushing this movement forward. Everyday I park my car right outside of Dogpatch Biofuels before I jump on the train, and I finally was able to pull together some research on who they are and what they do.

The long and short of it, they are San Francisco's ONLY public biodiesel filling station. They carry B100 biodiesel from local and recycled sources, and also host a residential cooking oil collection site on behalf of San Francisco Greasecycle. [the latter is a sub-division of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission]

Having been started by two ordinary citizen who wanted to take part in the weening off of foreign oil and products, DB was recently taken over by Incredible Adventures, a Bay Area touring company that powers their entire fleet on biodiesel.

Here's a quick tour of the location, and be sure to head over to http://www.dogpatchbiofuels.com/ for more info:
