+<br>The most recent waste-based fuels consist of "fats, grease and oils that are byproducts of the food market," said Bryan Sherbacow, chief industrial officer of Boston-based [biofuel](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) producer World Energy, which produces fuel from meat waste utilized by Gulfstream.<br>
