Isn biodiesel the fuel made from used chip fat?
Yes. One of the many advantages of biodiesel is that it can be made from used vegetable oil as well as unused. So it offers a perfect recycling solution for the UK’s catering industry. Used cooking oil used to be used to make animal feed, but since the BSE crisis this has been banned, and so catering companies and restaurants have had to pay for the safe disposal of their used cooking oils. Now, it can be collected for free by biodiesel manufacturers, and turned into an environmentally-friendly fuel.
