Green Promise: UC Team Seeking to Turn Fryer Fat to Fuel Competes in National EPA Event
April 17, 2012
At UC, waste fryer fat from campus eateries is collected and treated to be used as an alternative fuel source at the university utility plant. This proof-of-concept effort is the basis for a further proposal to collect trap grease from Cincinnati s sewer system and convert it into biodiesel. A UC team will present this idea at an EPA conference over Earth Day weekend, seeking to win a grant worth up to $90,000.
