UAE Circular Economy Council Inaugurates Lootah Biofuels Plant
by Shilpa Annie Joseph (GCCC Business News) The UAE Circular Economy Council has inaugurated the Lootah Biofuels plant in Dubai Industrial City, which will serve as an innovative model for converting cooking oil into biofuel for use in energy production. Leveraging agreements with public and private sector entities in the food and hospitality sectors, the Lootah Biofuels factory collects used cooking oil, treats it, and converts it into biodiesel using the latest international technologies at a competitive price compared to regular diesel.
The launch of the new plant and the consequent increase in biodiesel production capacity by 100 tons per day will help the UAE achieve its goal of obtaining five percent of transportation fuel from food waste and non-renewable resources. This project is a model of efficient integrated waste management and will contribute to fast-tracking the nationwide transition to a circular economy. READ MORE
