The energy potential of household used cooking oil (UCO) is practically unlimited.Its disposal, in some cases illegally, increases the cost and the energy consumption ofdomestic wastewater treatment, as well as the GHG emissions associated with itsbiodegradation (non-CO2 emissions). Moreover it should be added the heavy environmentalpollution load. The European initiative RecOil (Promotion of used cooking oil recycling forsustainable biodiesel production), co-funded by the Intelligent Energy Europe programme ofthe European Commission, aims to increase sustainable biodiesel production and its marketintake by enhancing the household used cooking oil (UCO) collection and transformation atlocal and regional level. RecOil will assess the “UCO to biodiesel” chain best practices,through a household survey, acknowledging the industry expertise, and local/regionalauthorities’ cooperation, to develop an on-line decision-making guide in order to assiststakeholders in developing a chain adjusted to local specificities (geographic, social,economic, legislative, and climate). Pilot projects will also be implemented, according to themost promising practices identified, for validation. The RecOil implementation will result inprimary energy savings estimated in 1.300 toe/year and the reduction of GHG emissions14.413 tCO2.
