The trub, a byproduct of the brewing process, will be tested for viable conversion to bioethanol and animal feed. \n\nWhen complete, PRECO, a commercial scale waste-to-energy interconnected system, will produce up to 500,000 gallons of bioethanol and other byproducts. PRECO places Greenbelt's ECOsystem technology in the center of the local business community by converting wastes from local breweries, wineries and other ag businesses into bioproducts including animal feed, fertilizer and potentially a high value human protein source. The products can then be purchased by other local businesses.

Should trub prove an ideal feedstock, Greenbelt may save Barrelhouse a portion of the costs associated with current removal methods and provide them with a greener solution. \n\n\"With waste becoming a bigger societal concern many don't see there are opportunities to turn trash into treasure,\" says Eng. \"Our testing will determine how trub from Barrelhouse performs as a feedstock and if well, the resulting bioproducts will be greener, more sustainable products.\" \n\nFounded in 2013 by Jason Carvalho and Kevin Nickell, Barrelhouse Brewing Company has quickly become the largest all American owned brewery in San Luis Obispo County.
