Burnsville, Oct 29 - Environmental solutions provider, LJP Waste Solutions, has joined the Minnesota Bio-Fuels Association (MN Bio-Fuels) as a vendor member. 

“We are happy to welcome LJP Waste Solutions as the newest vendor member of the Minnesota Bio-Fuels Association. We look forward to working with them on innovative energy technologies and plant production efficiencies that will help our members reduce their carbon intensity and remain competitive well into the future,” said Brian Werner, executive director of MN Bio-Fuels.

Based in Mankato, LJP Waste Solutions provides a wide range of waste collection. The company’s waste handling technology and innovative approach recycles and upcycles millions of pounds of waste into new and valuable products as well as waste-to-energy and zero landfill solutions. 

Additionally, the company’s LJP ReFuel is a biogenically carbon-rich alternative fuel that powers industrial boilers and thus reducing reliance on natural gas and coal while dramatically lowering carbon emissions.

“LJP ReFuel meets the US EPA criteria for designation as a non-hazardous secondary material and is exempt from solid waste regulations. Using alternative fuels like LJP ReFuel, made from high BTU  pre and post-consumer materials can reduce carbon emissions per ton of production by more than 100 percent,” said Kent Harrell, president of LJP Waste Solutions. 

He said the company has generally worked with the cement industry but is now seeking to provide its services to the ethanol industry.

“We joined MN Bio-Fuels to connect with all Minnesota ethanol producers and assist in reducing their carbon intensity score by using our fuel and also to evaluate the ethanol manufacturing facilities waste materials for use as a feedstock in our fuel,” Harrell said.
