REA Resource Recovery System, a company co-founded by Professor Emeritus of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Richard Parnas, is currently in Phase IV of the company’s plan to bring biofuel production to Danbury, CT.  The construction of a 5000 square foot facility that will turn FOG (fats, oils, grease) into biofuel is nearly completed and the company has released video.  The project is a partnership between the City of Danbury, REA Resource Recovery Systems LLC, Veolia Environment S.A., and the University of Connecticut.
