New System to Transform Restaurant Grease into Renewable Energy
New System to Transform Restaurant Grease into Renewable Energy
May 2007
Wastewater sludge and grease from restaurant kitchens are a nuisance for the environment, as they release methane during decomposition. An energy firm in California has come up with an innovative system that will be transforming wastewater sludge from its local restaurants into clean energy. Chevron Energy Solutions, a Chevron subsidiary is providing the assistance for engineering and constructing the environment-friendly system at the City of Rialto’s wastewater treatment facility.
The new system is also claimed to considerably increase municipal revenues and decrease the city’s energy costs - apart from decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.
