UCOME: Used Cooking Oil Methyl Ester

UCOME, the acronym for Used Cooking Oil Methyl Ester, is a type of biodiesel. It is produced from Used Cooking Oil (UCO) as the primary raw material. Through a chemical reaction called transesterification, the fatty acid triglycerides present in the UCO are converted into fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), resulting in UCOME.

UCOME exhibits excellent combustion properties and significant environmental advantages. Compared to conventional diesel fuel, UCOME features:

Lower sulfur content

Excellent biodegradability

Significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions during combustion

The use of UCOME contributes to:

Reducing environmental pollution

Decreasing dependence on fossil fuels
