Video
A short video about the production of sustainable second generation fuel.
In collaboration with ÝMIR technologies, Reykjavík MSW Management Company SORPA will soon be launching a project involving large-scale production of sustainable second generation fuel from more than 8.000 tons of slaughterhouse waste annually. The greenhouse gas savings of this venture alone will match the sudden introduction of 1.500 electric cars on the streets of Reykjavík, but at a fraction of the investment cost.
A video from our partners at Terra, about closed loop recycling.
Our closed loop process is complex in its design but simple in its concept. The used cooking oil is collected by our partner at Terra and transferred in bulk to our recycling facility, where Ymir produce’s the Biodiesel which meets the strict EU specification EN 14214. The Biodiesel is then delivered back to Terra by our partners at Olís, and Terra uses the Biodiesel to fuel their fleets. This means our closed loop customers are able to fuel their vehicles on very low carbon biofuel made from the same oil they collect.
