Berkeley county fat and oil changed to fuel

A new biofuels plant planned for Berkeley County would convert waste grease and fat to fuel. The county council recently reached an agreement with a Charlotte, N.C., company interested in building the plant. EcoPlus Inc. is planning to build a plant to take fat, oil and grease from across the region and convert them into a dried material that can be burned like coal. The company has operated a similar plant in Charlotte for the past six years.
