Method is also re-using waste and reducing carbon via its distribution channels.
Gradually the microbes break down the waste, leaving behind carbon dioxide and water.
By limiting the speed limit of its trucks to a maximum 60 miles per hour, the company estimates that it can save 3.75 million gallons of diesel fuel and cut carbon dioxide waste by 83 million pounds per year.
For example, almost every manufacturer has targets for carbon footprint, waste reduction, water use, etc.
Not factoring the hazardous waste transport into solar's carbon footprint is an obvious oversight, analysts said.
He says this will create regional jobs, increase resource security, reduce consumption of non-renewable resources, increase material efficiency and prevent carbon emissions and industrial waste - all on a big scale.
But Senator Ferguson said trying to cut carbon dioxide levels was a waste of time.
But the aim is to show that carbon neutral motoring, using waste fat as a biofuel, is achievable.
It will help families and businesses cut down on energy waste, save money and reduce dangerous carbon pollution.

The company manufactures low-carbon fuels made from the industrial waste of steel mills, oil refineries and chemical manufacturers.

According to scientists who conduct so-called "life cycle analysis" for solar, the transport of waste is not currently being factored into the carbon footprint score, which measures the amount of greenhouse gases produced when making a product.
In some markets, some of the time, biomass, geothermal, landfill gas and waste-to-energy can compete on price with carbon-based fuels.
Household waste, for example, would be reduced to pure carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, along with a handful of heavier elements (tungsten, iron, aluminium and so on) which could then be re-used.
He wants the co-op to own its own recycling plant and has traveled to Europe (on Avina's dime) to talk to waste management companies and charitable funders about why help for waste pickers should be included in any scheme to reduce carbon emissions.
One of our missions is to reduce our carbon footprint in an industry that produces massive and unnecessary waste.
If a government-mandated market for pollution offsets ever materializes, the 26-inch pipe hauling away carbon would be able to handle the plant's waste gas and another 5 million tons from other sources in New Jersey.
Tesco says the "Buy One, Get One Free Later" is part of a wider goal to turn it into a zero carbon business by 2050 and increase low carbon choices for customers, reducing the amount of household waste.
Algae can be fed from waste-streams of CO2 from fossil-fuel power stations as a carbon elimination strategy and can also decontaminate groundwater, so there is a potential mix of environmental solutions in aid of a common goal of fuel beyond oil.
In Iceland, Carbon Recycling International opened a plant at the end of 2011 drawing waste CO2 from a power station, with capacity to produce five million litres of methanol per year.
If Walmart is able to replicate their efforts on a national level, an 80 percent reduction in waste would be the equivalent of preventing 11.8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year.
The fossil fuels used to transport that waste, experts say, is not typically considered in calculating solar's carbon footprint, giving scientists and consumers who use the measurement to gauge a product's impact on global warming the impression that solar is cleaner than it is.
The government announced that the city would be zero-carbon, powered entirely by renewable energy, car-free, and produce net-zero waste.
After installing a solar panel, "it would take one to three months of generating electricity to pay off the energy invested in driving those hazardous waste emissions out of state, " said Dustin Mulvaney, a San Jose State University environmental studies professor who conducts carbon footprint analyses of solar, biofuel and natural gas production.
