Sustainability is not a question of duty, it is a question of responsibility.

Since 1992, over 4000 billion tons of ice have disappeared due to global warming.

It is not just our planet.

WE ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR SUSTAINABILITY

EVERY DROP COUNTS

If buzzwords like sustainability are to be more than just lip service, the entire production and supply chain must be considered as a whole.

Every kilo of CO2 that is saved and every drop of fossil fuel that can be replaced by renewable resources brings us closer to the goal of a clean earth.

There is no substitute
for decades of experience

THE SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS FOR A SUSTAINABLE WORLD

ALLWAYS IN HIGHEST QUALITY

RAW MATERIALS

FINISHED PRODUCTS

Used cooking oil (UCO)

It’s a waste material generated from the oils and fats that have been used for cooking or frying in the food processing industry (such as restaurants and fast foods, as well as in households). It can be in the form of vegetable oil such as corn oil, canola oil, olive oil, palm oil, etc and also animal fats.
UCO can be used as feedstock for biodiesel production, which is then called UCOME – Used Cooking Oil Methyl Ester. It is classified as an advanced biofuel since it is included in the feedstocks listed under Annex IX B of the Renewable Energy Directive II (RED II).

Rendered Animal Fats / Tallow

is a result from the meat rendering process. The Point of Origin is usually a rendering plant processing animal by-product (APSs) coming from slaughterhouses.
ABPs are categorized into three different categories by the EU depending on their risk potential for human and animal health, (in accordance with the EU animal by-product legislation (Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009):

  1. AF cat. 1 & 2 are listed in Annex IX B of the RED and thus do not qualify as „advanced“ but may be eligible for double counting
  2. AF cat. 3 and “uncategorized” animal fats are not listed in Annex IX
Palm oil mill effluent (POME)

is the unavoidable wastewater arising from palm oil production at a palm oil mill. It consists mostly of water, and a small percentage of oil and solid matter. Volume and composition vary by fresh fruit bunch composition, processing setup and conditions, and efficiency of the mill.
The following terminology shall be applied under ISCC:

  • POME (referring to the wastewater from the palm oil mill)
  • POME oil (referring to the oil recovered from the wastewater from the palm oil mill)
Empty Palm Fruit Bunches (EFB)

are the remains of the fresh fruit bunches after the fruit has been removed (“stripped”) for oil pressing. EFBs are an unavoidable (solid) waste from the palm oil production process. They usually have a high moisture content (which poses challenges for further utilisation of the EFBs) and still contain a small amount of residual oil.
EFBs can undergo a treatment process to reduce the moisture content by applying different technologies, e.g. “EFB Screw Press”. Residual oil can be recovered from “EFB liquor”, the wastewater from EFB treatment. Oil that is recovered from EFBs at the palm oil mill shall be referred to as “EFB oil”.

Spend bleaching earth oil (SBE oil)

Bleaching earth refers to natural or activated clay which has the capacity to adsorb coloured materials and other impurities during oil purification processes. The SBEO is the residual oil extracted from the spent and exhausted bleaching earth once it has ceased to fulfil its purifying function. The oil extraction is usually performed with hexane. 

Soapstocks

emerges from the oil refining process and is a mixture of glycerides, phosphoglycerides and free fatty acids (FFAs) emulsified in a substantial amount of water. Can be solid or liquid. The Point of Origin is usually a refinery and usually requires a further processing (“soapstock splitting”).

Soapstock acid oil
is produced by the acidulation of soapstock . Refiners of vegetable or animal oils who use chemical extraction processes to refine their oils will produce acid oils from the neutralisation of the soapstocks. These acid oils may contain contaminants of either sulphuric or phosphoric acid which make them unsuitable for food and feed.
Free fatty acids (FFAs)

are usually generated during the chemical or physical refining of vegetable oils or during the further processing of such oils (e.g. transesterification with the purpose of biodiesel production or esterification processes within the oleochemical industry). Points of origin of free fatty acids are usually oil mills, refineries and/or biodiesel plants. The amount of free fatty acids generated is in general within a range of 1 to 5 % of the amount of the respective input material (i.e. the crude vegetable oil).

Glycerine

is a simple polyol compound with the formula C3H8O3. It is a colourless, odourless, viscous liquid that is sweet-tasting and non-toxic. It has plenty of applications. In the biodiesel industry it is generated in the transesterification process where natural oils (triglycerides) react with methanol to produce methyl esters (biodiesel) and glycerine.

Methanol

is a chemical and the simplest alcohol with the formula CH3OH; it is a light, volatile, colourless a flammable liquid. In the biodiesel industry it is used as a reagent in the transesterification process to produce biodiesel and glycerine out of a triglyceride. 

BIOFUEL

Biofuel is a type of renewable energy source derived from biomass such as microbial, plant, or animal materials. It can be liquid or gaseous. Biofuels are used globally and biofuel industries are greatly expanding in Europe, Asia, and North and South America. They contain no sulfur and produce low carbon monoxide and toxic emissions. By 2050, biofuels could reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 1.7 billion tons per year—equivalent to more than 80% of current transportation-related emissions.

BIODIESEL
or FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) is a renewable alternative to fossil derived diesel fuel. It is produced from an array of renewable feedstocks including vegetable oils (rapeseed oil, palm oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil), used cooking oils (UCOs), animal fats and other wastes having an oil content.
FAME is produced via biomass esterification, where fats are broken down then reacted with methanol to produce a final product similar to fossil diesel, but with a higher oxygen content.
Like conventional diesel, biodiesel must comply with a CEN standard, EN14214. This ensures a standard quality and performance when FAME is used in a diesel engine, whether as pure biodiesel or as a part of a diesel/biodiesel blend. EU engine manufacturers have performed tests on blends with 5 to 10% biodiesel, 25 to 30% biodiesel, and with 100% pure biodiesel, resulting in guarantees for each blend. Blends are designated “B”, followed by a number indicating the percentage biodiesel; B100 would be pure biodiesel. B7 is currently the maximum blend permitted by the Fuel Quality Directive for sale across the EU, although in this case B7 indicates a maximum FAME content of 7%. No minimum FAME content is required by EU legislation. (should we include this paragraph?)
Biodiesel is compatible with the existing transport fuel distribution system, and can also be used efficiently as a heating oil.
Hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO)

is a renewable alternative to fossil derived diesel fuel. It is produced from an array of renewable feedstocks including vegetable oils (rapeseed oil, palm oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil), used cooking oils (UCOs), animal fats and other wastes having an oil content. HVO is produced via the hydro-processing of oils and fat, which gives a final product chemically indistinguishable from conventional diesel fuels.

Bio Ethanol

also known as ethyl alcohol or alcohol, is a volatile, flammable, colourless liquid with the molecular formula C2H5OH. Bioethanol is manufactured in a biorefinery by fermenting sugars into alcohols. The sugars typically come from a variety of agriculture sources (such as wheat, corn, barley, rye, triticale and sugar beet) and agriculture residues (such as straw, non-food lignocellulosic materials and wastes).

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)
means drop-in aviation fuels that are either synthetic aviation fuels*, biofuels produced from UCO or tallow oil or advanced biofuels (produced from other wastes and residues defined in Annex IX Part A of Directive (EU) 2018/2001) which comply with the sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions criteria laid down in the Renewable Energy Directive.
*Synthetic aviation fuels are renewable fuels of non-biological origin used in the aviation.
