Why does proof of biodiesel matter to your restaurant?
Because customers want real carbon cuts, not greenwashing. Diners see headlines noting that U.S. restaurants pour out about 3 billion gallons of fryer oil each year, and they worry the waste ends up in sewers instead of engines. When that grease turns into biodiesel, life cycle emissions plummet instead of pollute. Verified conversion also shields you from fines tied to illegal dumping and strengthens ESG audits. Grease Connections’ live dashboard traces every gallon from your tank to the refinery gate, ready for inspectors and diners alike.
How does DAR PRO Solutions change grease into low carbon diesel?
They refine collected oil into renewable fuel with up to 80 % fewer greenhouse gas emissions than regular diesel. DAR PRO Solutions part of Darling Ingredients moves your used cooking oil straight into its own biodiesel and renewable diesel plants, controlling the loop from fryer to fuel nozzle. The finished fuel runs in today’s engines and infrastructure without upgrades. Sealed, fire safe tanks and RFID verified pickups keep kitchens clean while ensuring chain of custody. That single vendor chain slashes paperwork and gives auditors a clear route from fryer to low carbon truck.
Who operates the biggest closed loop grease to biodiesel program?
Restaurant Technologies and Chevron Renewable Energy Group recycle 100 % of the oil from more than 37 000 commercial kitchens nationwide. In 2023 the alliance converted 314 million pounds of that waste into biodiesel or renewable diesel. One truck drops fresh oil, retrieves used oil, and feeds Chevron’s REG refineries closing the loop without extra mileage. The resulting fuel even powers Restaurant Technologies’ own fleet, letting you show the carbon math in real time. Grease Connections imports their pickup data via API, so your sustainability dashboard updates automatically.
Does Mahoney Environmental really send your oil to biodiesel plants?
Yes nearly 100 % of the used cooking oil Mahoney collects is sold as feedstock for biodiesel or renewable diesel. The firm recently merged with Neste owned assets, linking you to one of the world’s largest renewable fuel networks across the West Coast. Neste’s acquisition guarantees your grease fuels regional fleets instead of shipping overseas.

Are smaller regional recyclers turning grease into their own fuel?
Absolutely Clean Energy Biofuels collects fryer oil across the Southeast and refines it in Georgia and Virginia, running its own trucks on that biodiesel. The plant is powered by a 180 kW solar array and reports 80 % less pollution when its fuel replaces petroleum diesel. Local processing cuts transport emissions and boosts payout rates. Grease Connections installs sealed bins and automatic pickups across Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Virginia, so neighborhood restaurants can flaunt a home grown sustainability story. Put the sun to work on your waste request a clean energy pickup now.
How can you check a recycler’s sustainability claim?
Before signing with any oil recycling company, look for two things: an EPA fuel registration number and an ISCC waste and residue certification. The EPA keeps a public list of registered biodiesel fuels for quick cross checks. ISCC’s 2024 guidance sets audit criteria for used oil yields, ensuring what you ship equals what the refinery reports. Grease Connections refuses to onboard any collector lacking both credentials and stores copies of each certificate in your portal. Want us to vet your current vendor?
