Used Cooking Oil Feedstock
Sourcing considerations, quality specifications, collection origin, traceability, sustainability certification, and UCO supply opportunities for alternative fuel pathways.
UCO HEFA SOURCING FLOW
Used cooking oil sourcing & collection models
Used cooking oil (UCO) is recovered from restaurant food service, commercial kitchens, and industrial food processing facilities. As a waste-derived lipid feedstock, UCO is widely utilized in hydrotreated esters and fatty acids (HEFA) processing to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Renewable Diesel (HVO).
