Turn Your Burger Into Fuel!

Theres no doubt that San Francisco, if not all of California, is ahead of the curve with regards to environmentalism. All things green are coming out of there, but there is definitely some great steps made from all over the world. So we can’t give all the credit to California, but this next one is a beauty.

Biofuels have been taking a rather large hit lately due to the recent food crisis, and there is some warrant to the some of the accusations. Its rather obvious that the be-all-end-all to our problems is not ethanol and there needs to be a collective solution to the fuel problem. One of those other helping hands to the solution is biodiesel via grease. It’s not a new idea and its great to see the possibility of this fuel coming to the forefront. Just recently San Francisco announced that that the city had received $1 million from the California Energy Commission to build a pilot grease-to-biodiesel production facility. Thats right all that grease from the millions of restaurants can be turned to clean fuel.

The plant is set to be completed by December of 2008 and you can learn more about the plant here and here.

Keep it Green,

Paul
