If you mean the stuff that McDonalds uses to fry your food with, then they are already doing it. Well they do turn used cooking oil into bio diesel.

Grease is meant to work under a lot high heat environments and not break down chemically or burn. Grease that works for things that move in a cold environment may be a possibility. I don't know about that, so there may be a grease that is in large supply that could burn as a fuel because it was not designed or doesn't have heat resistant properties of other greases.

It's called biodiesel. Mix vegetable oil with methanol and lye and skim off the thick part that floats. The bottom part is biodiesel. Yes.

But it's a tough sell. Grease has the potential to spew 37 times the volume of methane as cattle waste. But it also gives off CO-2 in the process. Though methane can be compressed relatively easily, CO-2 practically needs cryogenic, cascading refrigeration and staged-compression. ... Yes. But it’s a tough sell.
