CHARLOTTE, NC , announced today that on June 10, 2008, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office approved the issuance of a patent for the company's process for the treatment of "brown grease."

This freshly patented and commercially proven technology utilizes an environmentally friendly process for turning brown grease restaurant refuse into a high quality, solid fuel product.
