imageUSED COOKING OIL (UCO)

Lootah Biofuels has successfully given a practical and viable solution to produce biofuel from Used Cooking Oil. The result is less expensive, renewable and clean fuel

We are one of the biggest UCO collectors authorized by Dubai Municipality and the only one having our own fuel outlets across Dubai

We pay for the UCO collected, thus giving an incentive to UCO providers

Our main sources of UCO are restaurants, bakeries, food chains etc.

By efficiently converting UCO waste into biofuel we help the Municipality in disposing UCO waste safely which could have resulted into alarming sewage problems

As a part of our Corporate Social Responsibility, by converting UCO into fuel we prevent it entering into the food chain again

UCO has the highest carbon saving ratio amongst all the available biodiesel feedstock

Request for a instant UCO collection.
One of our team will respond as soon as possible.

The launch of the new plant and the consequent increase in biodiesel production capacity by 100 tonnes per day will help the UAE achieve its goal of obtaining five percent of transportation fuel from food waste and non-renewable resources. This project is a model of efficient integrated waste management and will contribute to fast-tracking the nationwide transition to a circular economy. Yousif Saeed Lootah, Chairman of Lootah Biofuels, expressed his appreciation to the UAE leadership for the great attention it pays to promoting the transition to a circular economy, which constitutes an important part of sustainable development. He said: “The circular economy drives the adoption of efficient and responsible production and consumption patterns, and provides ample opportunities for growth and prosperity for companies that uphold sustainable values and practices, such as Lootah Biofuels.” Almheiri said: “The transition to a circular economy contributes to driving sustainable economic development in line with the UAE’s vision, which ensures continued growth while protecting the environment and preserving natural resources, in addition to supporting the efforts to reduce emissions and to achieve net zero.” She added: “Innovative solutions play a key role in accelerating the shift. The Lootah Biofuels plant represents a remarkable model of practical application of circularity principles, and a prime example of active participation of the private sector in achieving the UAE’s goal of developing a circular economy.” Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy, said: “The Lootah Biofuels factory serves as an innovative model of converting cooking oil into biofuel for use in energy production and enhances endeavours to shift towards more sustainable energy and create new economic opportunities that advance the country’s transition to a more flexible and diversified economic model based on knowledge and innovation, and support the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).” For his part, Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri said, “Promoting the enablers of the circular economy transition in the UAE through close cooperation between the public and private sectors is one of the main tracks led by the UAE Circular Economy Council, which is based on a real partnership with the country’s private sector aimed at exploring opportunities, proposing solutions, and developing the necessary policies to consolidate the UAE’s position as a leading global example of leveraging the circular economy as one of the engines of sustainable economic growth during the next stage.” He added that the Lootah Biofuels factory serves as an innovative model of converting cooking oil into biofuel for use in energy production and enhances endeavours to shift towards more sustainable energy and create new economic opportunities that advance the country’s transition to a more flexible and diversified economic model based on knowledge and innovation, and support the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Dr. Al Zeyoudi stressed that continued efforts to implement the UAE Circular Economy Policy 2021-2031 will consolidate the country’s position as a global economic hub and a preferred destination for foreign investors looking for rewarding prospects in existing future economy sectors that are based on knowledge and innovation and take into account sustainability and conservation of natural resources. He added that the programmes and projects executed under the umbrella of the UAE Circular Economy Policy strengthen the country’s investment environment and create new opportunities related to the circular economy. They expand the infrastructure of this promising sector, and provide incentives to the private sector to shift to clean industrial production methods using artificial intelligence (AI) and Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) solutions in a manner that consolidates the UAE’s position among emerging circular economies regionally and globally. He also highlighted the importance of the launch of the Lootah Biofuels plant in Dubai Industrial City as a result of cooperation between the public and private sectors for achieving national goals. Al Olama noted that the UAE government, led by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, has embraced the concepts of sustainability and proactive thinking to boost readiness for the future by diversifying economic models into general, digital, and circular, which is essential to achieve sustainable growth and accelerate progress towards the future. He added, “Adopting a new economic model in the country will create new exceptional opportunities by stimulating innovation, increasing competitiveness, and driving growth, which enhances quality of life for the current and future generations.” Startups The meeting’s agenda included many important topics related to following up on the implementation of circular economy methods in all sectors and the latest developments on previous decisions of the Council. MOCCAE delivered a presentation on startups with high ambitions in the field of circular economy that can be involved in the Dubai Future Accelerators programme. Among the featured companies was Solein that has developed a unique protein using air and electricity as raw materials. Disconnecting food production from agriculture, the manufacturing process consumes 1,000 times less water than is required to produce protein from livestock and 100 times less than producing vegetable protein. Meanwhile, Evo & Co seeks to reduce the use of plastics by replacing them with new materials derived from nature, such as seaweed, rice straw, and sugarcane bagasse, and Mimica produces low-cost temperature-sensitive indicators of food freshness in the form of dynamic expiry labels that help prevent food waste. Yousif Saeed Lootah, Chairman of Lootah Biofuels, expressed his appreciation to the wise UAE leadership for the great attention it pays to promoting the transition to a circular economy, which constitutes an important part of sustainable development. He said, “The circular economy drives the adoption of efficient and responsible production and consumption patterns, and provides ample opportunities for growth and prosperity for companies that uphold sustainable values and practices, such as Lootah Biofuels.” Lootah added that the government’s support for leading projects motivates and empowers young people to achieve their aspirations and contribute to the national agenda in innovative ways. He also highlighted the company’s keenness to participate in building youth capacities by providing training opportunities. Biofuels Leveraging agreements with public and private sector entities in the food and hospitality sectors, the Lootah Biofuels factory collects used cooking oil, treats it, and converts it into biodiesel using the latest international technologies at a competitive price compared to regular diesel. The launch of the new plant and the consequent increase in biodiesel production capacity by 100 tonnes per day will help the UAE achieve its goal of obtaining five percent of transportation fuel from food waste and non-renewable resources. This project is a model of efficient integrated waste management and will contribute to fast-tracking the nationwide transition to a circular economy. Local and Global Efforts Following a presentation on the progress of current circular economy projects and emerging project data in the UAE, Anis Nassar of the World Economic Forum (WEF) briefed the Council members on the latest developments in the Scale360° initiative, which brings together global partners to scale up the use of 4IR technologies with the aim of accelerating the adoption of circular economy principles. The meeting included an overview of BEE’AH’s efforts to implement the circular economy model in its operations, and its re.life market, an advanced digital business-to-business platform for buying and selling of recovered commodities through a simple and transparent process that contributes to shaping the future of the recyclables trade in the UAE. During the meeting, MOCCAE signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Union Cement to partially use alternative fuels produced by the Emirates RDF municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment plant in Umm Al Quwain. The move is part of the Ministry’s efforts to boost the participation of the private sector in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, implementing circular economy principles, and developing an integrated waste management system.
