Renewable fuels are often produced from a combination of previously used materials, such as combining waste and residues with renewable and vegetable oils.
PowerSecure, a Southern Company subsidiary, provided the renewable fuel.
“The deployment of renewable fuel at the PGA TOUR Championship represents a major milestone for PowerSecure and the energy users and producers we serve,” said PowerSecure CEO Chris Cummiskey.
