DAVAO BIODIESEL PLANT IS SUSTAINABLE

The processing of used cooking oil into biofuel at the Bio
Diesel Fuel Plant (BDFP) in Davao City has proven to be
sustainable since its launching about three months ago,
the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (Cenro)
said. “The BDFP has been processing 1,000 liters of used
cooking oil into biodiesel fuel on a daily basis,” said Dolly
Remojo, supervising environmental management specialist
of Cenro.
The plant, located at the Cenro composting facility in
Maa, formally started processing used cooking oil last
August. Its aim is to discourage establishments, such as
those in the fast food industry, from re-using or selling
their used cooking oil. The indiscriminate disposal of cooking
oil has also been identified as a factor in clogged drainage
and canal systems in the city.
