The Biofuels Revolution: How India's Biodiesel Mandates are Impacting Used Cooking Oil (UCO) Sourcing

Scaling Up Biodiesel Blending

India's National Policy on Biofuels outlines ambitious targets for biodiesel blending, driving demand for sustainable feedstocks. A key focus is on repurposing Used Cooking Oil (UCO) from commercial kitchens to prevent its reentry into the food supply.

# Sourcing Challenges for UCO

Collecting UCO from food businesses requires organized aggregation networks to meet volume and purity standards. Traceability is key to verifying that the oil is sustainably sourced and suitable for biodiesel conversion.
