Waste to Watts: Biomethane from Food Residues
FY 2024-25 · 2024-10-01
Summary
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.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à démontrer la haute teneur énergétique des particules alimentaires provenant des huiles de cuisson usagées et des déchets alimentaires provenant des bacs à graisse pour produire du biométhane par digestion anaérobie. En utilisant un digesteur à petite échelle, le résultat du projet validera le potentiel technologique et économique des déchets des bacs à graisse et des résidus d’huile de cuisson usagée comme matières premières pour la production de biométhane. En outre, le projet permettra de réduire les déchets en utilisant les particules alimentaires et les déchets des bacs à graisse, et d’atténuer les émissions de gaz à effet de serre en capturant le méthane qui serait autrement libéré dans l’atmosphère par la décomposition des déchets organiques, entre autres.
