SAN FRANCISCO: San Francisco will build its first pilot facility to convert as much as 2.5 million gallons of the city's restaurant grease into biodiesel. San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) received a US$1 million grant last month for the project from the California Energy Commission (CEC).
The new plant will be sited at SFPUC's Oceanside Sewage Treatment Plant. The new plant will create three treat three grades of biodiesel using brown grease collected from the city's restaurants. The three grades of biodiesel can be used to feed motor vehicles, sewage treatment plants and the city's heating and electrical needs.
