Many technologies have been used over the years to destroy troublesome waste, including incineration, but at an expense to the environment. Now, technological development has produced a new process that allows waste to be reformed into renewable fuels, thereby minimizing the environmental effects from the combustion of waste.

The TCP successfully converts fats, bones, greases, feathers and other wastes into renewable diesel, fertilizers, and specialty chemicals. TCP works with wet mixed feedstocks, and by cleverly utilizing water, avoids the energy penalty of drying the materials, typical of other technologies.

Agricultural wastes alone make up approximately 50% of the total yearly waste generation (6 billion tons) in the U.S. With TCP, the 6 billion tons of agricultural waste could theoretically be converted into 4 billion barrels of oil. Realizing only a portion of this incremental domestic energy production is clearly in our national interest, because it ensures greater national energy independence. At the same time, this production provides a permanent solution to serious environmental problems caused by current waste disposal practices.
