Abstract
A method of forming a biofuel by capturing fats, oils, and/or greases in a grease trap is described. The method includes adding an absorbent material to a grease trap to absorb fats, oil, and/or greases, forming a biofuel by absorbing the fats, oils, and/or greases over time, removing the formed biofuel from the grease trap, and optionally transporting the biofuel for storage and/or incineration. The absorbent material, which may be stored in a porous fabric container in the form of a tube or a mat, includes: sphagnum peat, mushroom compost, orange peels, and/or polypropylene.
