Recent energy insecurity highlights the important of strategic energy autonomy with reclaiming of brown grease one of the answers to make our fuel economy more sustainable and independent. 300,000 tones of FOG (Fat, Oil and Grease) are collected every year, with a clear tendency to increase.

FOG is simply grease trap waste produced each year by food serving establishments such as restaurants. An unwanted byproduct of cooking with foods high in fat, such as butter, meat and cooking oil.
The amount of FOG being produced is staggering. Recent estimates are around 400-2,500 kg a year for a single restaurant.
