Brown grease is generated by food preparation and collects in grease traps and interceptors until it is removed and taken to renderers or landfills for disposal. Is brown grease just a nasty waste stream or could it be a valuable energy source?

The Puget Sound Brown Grease Symposium gathers stakeholders to discuss:

• how brown grease can be better managed and potentially used as feedstock for biodiesel
• brown grease use as a boost to methane production in wastewater treatment plants, and
• how preferred pumper programs can facilitate the productive use of brown grease.

We welcome all stakeholders to participate in this exciting and topical event.

The Symposium will be held April 15, 2009, from 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. at the Seattle Center Alki Room (part of the Northwest Rooms).
