the biofuels market , which is under pressure to make more sustainable aviation fuel and biodiesel . One of the best ways to make these fuels is to utilize used cooking oils in the process , which is highly sustainable because it is being produced from waste . As a result , the market can get closer to meeting its targets for sustainable aviation fuel . In the UK , the target is for 30 percent of air travel to be powered by sustainable fuel , but meeting this goal would require significantly more oil than the industry currently produces ,” he enlightens .
To enable the wider processing of edible oils , BioteCH 4 is currently in talks to install the same machinery in the plants of other anaerobic digestion operators . Alongside this , the company has recently received planning permission for a new anaerobic digestion facility in Lincolnshire , which is set to amplify its positive impact on the environment . “ This plant will allow us to incorporate that extra material but also to blend it with the waste we ’ re already processing throughout the county ,” continues Lee .
“ With a two-year long planning process , the project has taken some time to get on its feet . Nonetheless , we are delighted to say that we have received no objections to the facility at all . We expect to begin construction on the new plant in the near future , but the wait will have been worth it . Indeed , the planning consent is for up to 200,000 tons of food waste per annum , which will place us in a good position to handle increased amounts of food waste , as arisings are set to increase in the local area over the next few years . It will also benefit the farmland around us , because it will essentially double the amount of land
