The used cooking oil market share has been propelled by its utilization in biodiesel production due to its reduced emissions and cost. UCO-based biodiesel also has another commercial benefit of producing other useful by-products of soap and glycerine. According to the same sources, the global biodiesel supply is expected to reach 50,334 million litres in 2025. Government policies in the U.S. and Europe also favour UCO adoption for use in biofuels. This trend increases market demand for sustainable fuel sources.
Furthermore, population growth, increased urbanization, increased pollution and other environmental impacts are also considered key factors influencing the demand for energy storage. Governments and energy companies are implementing policies promoting green energy, including biodiesel prepared from recycled edible oil. Consumers prefer biodiesel over petroleum diesel due to its environmentally friendly nature. Another advantage is the availability of used oil due to enhanced awareness towards food wastage and stringent safety measures for food preparation which results in the generation of a fairly huge amount of used oil for biodiesel production. This creates a surge in the need for energy conservation and sustainable sources of power.
