Whole Foods Introduces Canola Power

43 stores in the Whole Foods family currently supplied by a facility in the Northeast, will soon become primary benefactors of canola power—as in the same canola oil used for cooking products sold at Whole Foods locations. It is estimated that by next year a generator will be up and operational to power the facility with used cooking oil at a whopping 2 million kilowatt hours per year. The used canola oil is currently being stored in 55-gallon drums.
