Milwaukee entrepreneur Peter Grimes is opening his first southeast Wisconsin biofuel filling station in Cudahy next month, with hopes of opening more than half a dozen additional biofuel stations over the next two years.
Grimes, a managing partner of AUR Energy Partners LLC, Milwaukee, is overseeing the conversion of a former Shell station, 5080 S. Pennsylvania Ave., into a biofuel station called Good To Go that will begin selling biodiesel fuel in June. In the future, Grimes’ Good To Go station will offer E-85, a gasoline and ethanol mix that’s 85 percent ethanol, and plug-in bays where electric cars can recharge their batteries.
Grimes and a handful of partners have a second Good To Go alternative fuel station in Little Chute in the Fox Valley that sells E-85 and will sell biodiesel soon.
“The business climate for alternative fuels is growing, and we’re attracting more investors,” Grimes said.
