(Biofuels International) Abu Dhabi’s waste management centre will start recycling waste cooking oil (UCO) from homes and restaurants to produce biofuels. Abdul Mohsin Al Katheeri, acting director of projects and facilities at Tadweer, said the doorstep project is expected to start next year.

Residents will be provided with secure containers to safely dispose of their used oil. A licensed recycling company will take these containers to Tadweer’s Waste to Energy Plant, which is currently under construction.

The processing unit is being set up with the help of Emirates Water and Electricity Company, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Power Corporation.

“The used cooking oil is treated using fatty acid to produce biodiesel. Imagine turning the used cooking oil in your kitchen to biodiesel,” Mr Al Katheeri said.

The project’s investors will reach out to restaurants and hotels and ask them to recycle their waste cooking oil.
“And for people’s homes, we will have a collection centre with containers to dispose of the oil waste,” he said. READ MORE
