TUCSON, AZ (KOLD) - A new biodiesel manufacturing facility celebrated its grand opening in Tucson Saturday.

Environmental Development Group expects to produce one to three million gallons of fuel its first year.

It processes cooking oil donated by local hotels and restaurants and turns the oil into biodiesel.

The new facility will create about 19 green jobs in Tucson this year.
