Today, Sequential Bio Fuels generated 4.7 Kilowatt-hours of electricity. From fossil-fueled sources, this amount of electricity would have emitted 6.6 lbs of CO2 into the atmosphere.

This could power:

  • An electric toothbrush for 18 weeks
  • A 42" plasma-screen television for 9 hours
  • A typical video game system for 1 week

The SeQuential biofuel station is a demonstration in realistic, feasible, and sustainable technologies. More than 16,000 individual photovoltaic cells are installed on 224 panels on the canopy over the fuel pumps and generate 33 kilowatts of electrical power – or enough to provide 30% to 50% of the power that the station requires. Other technologies displayed at the station include a passive solar design, a living roof covered in plants and soil and bioswales that catch rainwater, hold it on site and uses plant life and microorganisms to filters out pollutants.
