  • Will India increase its UCO collection in the future?
  • India is likely to increase its UCO collection in the future, especially with a new program called Repurpose Used Cooking Oil (RUCO), which tries to curb the amount of UCO that becomes gutter oil and instead encourage its use as a feedstock for biodiesel.
  • What is Ruco (repurposed cooking oil) initiative?
  • The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) launched RUCO (Repurpose Used Cooking Oil) initiative to enable collection and conversion of used cooking oil to biodiesel. Under this initiative, 64 companies at 101 locations have been identified to enable collection of used cooking oil.
  • Is UCO ready for biodiesel conversion?
  • Now, this oil is ready for biodiesel conversion. With transesterification (the process in which fat or oil reacts with an alcohol to form esters and glycerol), UCO is converted into biodiesel,¡± explains Sushil. ¡°Since there is a huge scarcity of raw material (UCO) for biodiesel generation, our focus starting out is on collection.
  • Can UCO be used as a fuel?
  • This study includes total estimated UCO potential together with an estimate of the total amount of fuel that could be produced from it, the current collection rate, import and export data, and consideration of UCO¡¯s domestic uses, including for biofuel or re-use as cooking oil, which is called gutter oil.
