  • What is the difference between UCO & WCO biodiesel?
  • Biodiesel produced from used cooking oil (UCO) or waste cooking oil (WCO) is an advanced biofuel, i.e. second-generation since it is obtained from a non-crop feedstock. It is promising in terms of both quality and production cost [ 7 ], while UCO is currently considered as a cheap biodiesel feedstock [ 8 ].
  • Is Uco a feedstock for biodiesel?
  • Worldwide, UCO is a relatively minor feedstock for biodiesel (FAME/HVO). In 2019, UCOME made up 5.12 Mt of the 45.69 Mt biodiesel produced worldwide (ISTA Mielke GmbH, 2020). The most important feedstocks are various types of virgin oil: palm oil (38.5%, 2019), soy oil (25%, 2019) and rapeseed (14%, 2019, of which 85% EU).
  • What percentage of biodiesel is consumed by UCO?
  • UCO accounts for 11% of global biodiesel consumption in 2019, mainly due to the US and EU. UCO is only in the EU ¡ª where 40% of global biodiesel is consumed ¡ª and in the US a considerable, at least 10% of total, feedstock for biodiesel (UFOP, 2019).
  • Can the EU use UCO for biofuels?
  • Based on an analysis of the UCO supply potential in the EU, the USA, China, Indonesia and Argentina, Ecofys (2019) concludes that the EU could make use of about 2 Mton per year of UCO for biofuels at a low risk for indirect land use change (ILUC). This is because UCO collection could still be scaled up significantly worldwide.
  • Which EU countries consume the most UCO-Bas Ed biodiesel?
  • total EU biodiesel consumption. However, only ten EU +UK Member States consume significant volumes of UCO ME. Germany, Irela nd, Hungary, Netherlands, Portugal, UK, Slovenia and Bulgaria have higher shares of UCOME. The latter two started just very recently with consuming UCO-bas ed biodiesel. competitive advantage.
  • What does ucome stand for in biodiesel?
  • Although this is technically UCO-based FAME (UCOME is an abbreviation for Used Cooking Oil Methyl Ester), we use it for all UCO-based biodiesel, including both FAME and HVO. Worldwide HVO production (from all feedstocks) is about 11% of total biodiesel production, with almost 3 Mt annual HVO production in the EU.
