CEO: Joseph Adelegan, 41

Cows to Kilowatts has found a clean way to convert slaughterhouse waste into biofuel for household cooking and electricity. Instead of smelly, inefficient traditional waste-treatment methods, Cows to Kilowatts offers a bioreactor system that turns organic waste into cheap, nonpolluting fuel. As a bonus, the system churns out environmentally friendly fertilizer from the remaining sludge.
