Used Cooking Oil (UCO) as biofuel feedstock in the EU

UCOME Used Cooking Oil Methyl Ester – in this report we use the term UCOME for biodiesel based on UCO in general, which could also include HVO 4 200247, Used Cooking Oil (UCO) as biofuel

The demand for Used Cooking Oil (UCO) for biodiesel production in the EU is likely to increase significantly, especially in the light of the Renewable Energy Directive II.

Singapore's growing bio-bunkers demand to drive surge

Singapore's overall sales of bunker fuel in 2023 jumped to a record high 51.8 million mt, with bio-bunker sales jumping to 518,000 mt in 2023 from 140,200 mt in 2022, latest data from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore showed.

Biodiesel is one of the most popular biofuels in Europe and is widely used in transport and public transport sectors. Many modern vehicles now use blends of biodiesel amongst regular diesel. Biodiesel is made through a chemical process called transesterification whereby the glycerin is separated from the fat or vegetable oil.

Extended exergy accounting applied to biodiesel production

Energy supply and energy use are key issues in our present society. In the European Union, 30% of the energy supply is used in road transport [1], which is mainly based on liquid fuel running engines: thus, an efficient and environmentally benign production of liquid biofuels plays a relevant role in the improvement of the level of sustainability of the transport sector and energy efficiency

Definition of the optimal content of used cooking oil methyl

An extended investigation on the application of blends between diesel oil and used cooking oil methyl esters (UCOME) was developed on an automotive turbocharged diesel engine. Two commercial diesel oils were considered as reference fuels, the first with the conventional content of biodiesel (7%), the second with an amount of 15%.

The Argus UCOME (used cooking oil methyl ester) price assessment is a key benchmark for European waste biodiesel markets. The primary basis for the UCOME price assessment is fob ARA range — including Antwerp, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Dordrecht, Flushing and Ghent.

Copperbelt Energy Corporation, Biofuel production, Zambia

As part of their renewable energy business unit, Copperbelt Energy Corporation Plc (CEC) set up a biodiesel plant in Kitwe, Zambia. In order to meet the required oil quantities for the plant to make it a profitable part of their business, CEC involves small scale farmers in the production of bio fuel feedstock mainly from soya beans, jatropha castor and other oil seeds. This provides

Based on standardised input and output values, comprising Argus assessments for Ucome, glycerine, used cooking oil (UCO) and methanol, as well as assessments for various acidic and basic catalysts and energy inputs, Ucome input costs of just over $1,298/t are set slightly above the assumed value of sales of biodiesel and glycerine as of 8 June.

  • Is biodiesel welfare-beneficial in Zambia?
  • However, if Zambia increases its domestic soybean supply, as well as oil yield, soybean-based biodiesel is likely to be welfare-beneficial. The country¡¯s welfare is found to be the highest under expanded soybean production and its domestic processing but with no biodiesel mandate.
  • How much does biodiesel cost in Zambia?
  • Because the local market price of biodiesel in Zambia is $1.31/l, using of Eq. (5) we estimate the Zambian biodiesel producers¡¯ willingness to pay for soybean oil to be $1180/mt.
  • Does a binding biodiesel mandate work in Zambia?
  • The results in column 7 in Table 2 suggest that increasing soybean (and hence biodiesel) production on the abandoned land in Zambia appears to be beneficial under a binding biodiesel mandate. However, how does the situation change if there is no mandate?
  • Does biofuel production have a positive impact on Zambia's food security?
  • Biofuel production could have a positive impact on real GDP growth, employment and rural and urban household welfare in Zambia regardless of the feedstock crop chosen without any negative effects on aggregate household food security.
  • Is Zambia a good place to invest in bioenergy?
  • Land and water constraints, however, limit the ability for domestic production. Zambia, due to its abundance in land, suitable climate, supportive set of bioenergy incentives and close geographical location to South Africa, has the potential to meet this increase in demand.
  • Can Zambia become a major supplier of bioethanol?
  • Zambia can become a large supplier of bioethanol. Its near-central geographical location, suitable climate, abundance in land and (on paper) supportive set of bioenergy incentives provide a strong case for successful production within the country.
