But, did you know that now restaurants can use their waste vegetable oil to generate electricity?

The Owl Power Company, in Massachusetts, has developed the Vegawatt, a fully automated device that can turn used cooking oil into fuel for electrical power.

Fellow blogger John Rarrick posts at Gas 2.0. He recently interviewed Owl Power’s VP of Sales to get the “low-down” on the Vegawatt.

According to the post, Owl Power is currently marketing a 5kW unit for restaurants. This system can supply about 10-15% of a restaurants electrical needs, assuming that most restaurants produce 50-80 gallons of waste oil each week.

The company is developing a larger 12kW unit for supermarkets and food manufacturing facilities to provide them with more green steps option.

Researchers at Carbon Sciences, based in California, are using chemical engineering and bio-engineering principles to develop a biocatalytic process that can transform CO2 emissions into fuels like gasoline, diesel fuel, and jet fuel.

This sort of breakthrough technology would allow us to meet our energy needs and the challenges of climate change without significantly changing our current infrastructure.

“Albert Einstein once said, ‘In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.’ Carbon Sciences is embarking upon perhaps the greatest opportunity — fundamentally contributing to a sustainable world of energy consumption with a new, renewable energy, CO2 to fuel,” says Byron Elton, the President and COO of Carbon Sciences, at CNNMoney.com. “This year, we expect to see new policies that reflect a world ready to invest in, and embrace renewable energy. These are exciting times and we are committed to playing an historic role toward a world of sustainable fuel consumption and climate stability.”
