    Biodiesel generators

    It's good to see communities getting behind biodiesel. Heck, even Texans are doing it! Wink (link)

    Houston Business Journal - by Susan Powell Special to Houston Business Journal

    Three engines operating in a warehouse in Conroe are the first biodiesel generators to tie in to the electric grid in the U.S.

    When residents of the the City of Oak Ridge North near The Woodlands flip on their lights, they are now part of a quiet revolution.

    Although some residents may not even be aware of it, they are using peak-demand power created by three engines that have become the first biodiesel generators to plug into the electric grid in the United States.

    Houston-based CenterPoint Energy Inc., which is providing the interconnection for the project, has worked with other environmentally friendly power sources in the past, but this is the first time the energy company has an agreement with a generator fueled by biodiesel.

    "We are especially pleased to be a part of this historic project," says Bob Roy, CenterPoint Energy's Greenspoint/Humble service area manager for electric operations.
