Disney has been doing their part to help the environment lately. We had an earlier article about Disney using LEDs.
Now they are using cooking oil to power their trains and compressed natural gas fuel their trams.
As part of its ongoing commitment to the environment, Disneyland Resort in Anaheim CA, announced two innovative environmental initiatives to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The Resort has begun using compressed natural gas to fuel its guest trams and recycled cooking oil to power its Disneyland Railroad steam trains and Mark Twain riverboat.
“These initiatives demonstrate Disneyland Resort’s ongoing commitment to balancing environmental stewardship throughout our operations,” said Michael O’ Grattan, senior vice president of resort operations. “These are just a few steps in our ongoing journey to reduce Disneyland Resort’s environmental footprint.”
The Disneyland Railroad’s steam boilers are being fueled by a special biodiesel made from recycled cooking oil used throughout the Resort. “We have been recycling our used kitchen grease for years, but this innovation takes recycling to another level,” said Frank Dela Vara, Disneyland Resort’s director of environmental affairs and conservation. “Now the oil used to cook French Fries and other foods is processed to power our Disneyland Railroad and our Mark Twain Riverboat. This move allows the Resort to save approximately 200,000 gallons of petroleum diesel per year.”
The Disneyland Railroad’s five trains have been using a soy-based biodiesel to fuel their steam boilers since April 2007. The 99.9 used cooking oil-based biodiesel will continue to reduce emissions by up to 80 percent.
