EBMUD AGENDA NO. MEETING DATE January 22, 2013 TITLE WASTE TO BIODIESEL PHASE II RESEARCH ASSISTANCE SERVICES El MOTION • RESOLUTION • ORDINANCE RECOMMENDED ACTION Authorize an amendment to the agreement with Bay Systems Consulting, Inc. (Bay Systems) in an amount not to exceed $120,000 for specialized biodiesel research assistance services. These funds will be fully reimbursed by the California Energy Commission (CEC). SUMMARY In 2011, the District received a $1 million grant from the CEC to investigate low-cost methods for producing biodiesel from waste grease and oils. If successful, the outcome from this work could allow agencies to cost-effectively produce biodiesel from wastes to fuel diesel fleets. In February 2011, the District executed a $150,000 agreement with Bay Systems to provide technical support for Phase I of the grant-funded work, which consisted of researching and identifying potential low-cost alternatives. Additional funding for this agreement is needed for the District to complete Phase II of the project, which consists of evaluating technologies identified in Phase I of the study. Bay Systems has unique, specialized expertise in biodiesel production and pilot testing. This $120,000 amendment, which would bring the total contract amount up to $270,000, will provide funding to allow Bay Systems to provide an additional year of technical assistance to complete the project. DISCUSSION Current methods for converting waste grease into biodiesel are costly to build and operate, and therefore, provide little potential for widespread use. The District recently completed the first phase of the CEC grant-funded study and identified several potential low-cost alternatives for converting waste grease into biodiesel at a bench-scale level. In the next and final phase of this study, a pilot facility will be constructed and operated to test the most promising alternatives at a scale sufficient to evaluate the alternatives' potential performance and economics at full-scale. A conceptual design of facilities to cost-effectively manufacture biodiesel from waste grease and oils is the goal for the final work product. If successful, this design could potentially be implemented at wastewater treatment facilities to fuel diesel fleets or possibly other diesel vehicles in the surrounding communities.
