Title:

Waste to Watts: Biomethane from Food Residues

Agreement Number:

1022876

Agreement Value:

$75,000.00

Agreement Date:

Oct 1, 2024 - Sep 30, 2025

Description:

This project is for demonstrating the high energy content of food particles from used cooking oil and food waste from grease traps to produce biomethane through anaerobic digestion. By using a small-scale digester, the result of the project will validate the technological and economic potential of grease trap waste and residues from used cooking oil as feedstocks for producing biomethane. Additionally, the benefits of the project will include waste reduction by utilizing food particles and grease trap waste, greenhouse gas mitigation by capturing methane that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere from decomposing organic waste, among others.
