for Vicinity Energy Biogenic Fuel: Vicinity Energy converted four boilers at its Edison Station in Philadelphia to use a new biofuel, LR100. The trees planted along residential streets and throughout the downtown business district also provide an urban canopy which cools the natural environment and limits the “heat island” effect.
