Buffalo Biodiesel CEO Talks Permits, Oil Theft, and Betting Big on Buffalo in New Podcast

In the latest episode of Building Buffalo, a podcast at Buffalo Rising, Sumit Majumdar, President and CEO of Buffalo Biodiesel, provides an in-depth look at the company’s operations and recent developments. Buffalo Biodiesel, which collects used cooking oil and converts it into renewable biodiesel, has been in the spotlight due to permitting issues with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Majumdar explains how those challenges arose and the steps being taken to resolve them.

Beyond regulatory matters, Majumdar discusses the growing problem of cooking oil theft, which affects his business and others in the industry. He also highlights his recent purchase of 17 Court Street where he envisions developing a speakeasy featuring a piano, snooker table, and cigar lounge on the ground floor.

The conversation also highlights Majumdar’s dual focus on strengthening Buffalo Biodiesel’s role in renewable energy while also investing in Downtown Buffalo.
