From the article:
The California Energy Commission on Wednesday awarded $6 million to Sacramento's Clean World Partners to help construct a facility in south Sacramento that will convert food waste into natural gas.
At the same time, the commission granted $300,000 to Clean World's partner, Atlas Disposal Industries, to help pay for a fuel station next to the recycling facility, which will pump the natural gas produced by the food waste. Atlas will collect the waste from area food processors, restaurants and supermarkets.
