BlackGold Biofuels develops technology to convert sewer greases and other waste oils into biodiesel, a low-carbon diesel fuel. This approach recasts a problematic waste stream from grease traps and sewer systems as a usable energy source. The company is based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and operates with a small team. Its primary customers are water utilities and related facilities dealing with sewer management and wastewater treatment, who face sewer overflows and high grease-handling costs. The biodiesel can be used internally or sold, creating value from a nuisance pollutant; this positions the company at the intersection of waste management and renewable fuel within the broader energy landscape. In 2010, it was recognized by WaterWorld as a winner in the water treatment and technologies category.
