Refuel Biodiesel on Arizona Avenue closed a while back due to permitting issues with the city of Atlanta, as I recall.  But as Carl notes, Clean Energy Biodiesel Fuels is opening today in the same area.  Here are some details for the event…

CEB Biodiesel Fueling Station

250 Arizona Ave. NE, Atlanta, Georgia, 30307

12:00 pm-2:00 pm

Come help us celebrate the opening of our new retail biodiesel station in Atlanta with a ribbon-cutting and grand opening ceremony. Local and federal officials, company representatives, oil providers and biodiesel users throughout the City will be in attendance. Clean Energy Biofuels’ retail station is part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Clean Cities I-75 Clean Corridor program, seeking to create the longest alternative fuels corridor in the United States. The retail pump is a partnership of Southern Alliance for Clean Energy and Clean Energy Biofuels.

For all my talk about mass transit, I, like most people, still use a car on an almost daily basis.  And the Emory BP has been my go to station.  Close and relatively cheap compared to everything else in the vicinity.

Welp, it looks like I’m about to start paying more to fill up.  Maybe this is a sign that I should finally go diesel/bi0-diesel.

A reader sends in parts of a note that was just sent out to Emory staff…

“… the BP station in Emory Village has been sold and will close as of June 1, Emory University did NOT purchase it, … did not know what plans have been made for that property.”

Just wondering if you have any leads on who purchased this property and what the plans are?

Also, fyi, here is the remainder of the email detailing the Emory Village project and future plans for this summer and the rest of the year:

“…The water line project in Emory Village is complete. Georgia Power will now begin the process of burying overhead utilities, including electricity, cable TV, and telephone. This phase is expected to begin in June and extend into fall, perhaps through the end of the calendar year. The work is scheduled to take place mainly between 8pm and 5am, but will nonetheless be disruptive. DeKalb County has gone to bid for construction of the roundabout, with an anticipated start date in August, and a one year duration. So it looks like Emory Village will be a mess for another year…”

Decatur fryers take note…

Not only is Refuel Biodiesel (250 Arizona Ave, right off DeKalb Ave) the only place to buy biodiesel in the city of Atlanta, but it is now also the place where you can give a little back.  Andisheh over at Fresh Loaf has the details of Refuel Biodiesel’s new residential fryer oil recycling drop off location.

If any Decatur businesses try it out, send me a note afterward and I’ll give you a little free publicity.
