Used Vegetable Oil (UVO)
Used Vegetable Oil (UVO) is increasingly being reused/recycled to produce a vegetable oil fuel. Opportunities for businesses and consumers to recycle used cooking oil has increased. Used cooking oil can be refined into different types of biofuels used for power generation and heating. A significant benefit is that biofuels derived from recycled cooking oil typically burn clean, have a low carbon content and don’t produce carbon monoxide. This helps communities to reduce their carbon footprints. The recycling of cooking oil also provides a form of revenue for restaurants. Cooking oil recycling also results in less used oil being disposed of in drains which can clog sewage lines. Used vegetable oils include Industrial UVO, Yellow Grease, and Brown Grease.
