environmental benefits and advancing Dubai’s circular economy goals.”

Shiva Vig, CEO of BiOD Technology, added: “With cutting-edge technology and deep industry expertise,
we’re converting UCO and FOG into high-quality biodiesel. This initiative is just the beginning we’re
excited to expand our efforts into broader sustainable waste management solutions that make a global
impact.”

How It Works: From Kitchen to Fuel Tank

The process of converting used cooking oil into biodiesel is both innovative and efficient. BiOD
Technology collects UCO and FOG from designated collection points across Dubai, including households,
restaurants, and food outlets. The collected waste is transported to specialized facilities where it undergoes
a series of processes, including filtration and chemical treatment, to produce B100 biodiesel a pure,
renewable fuel that can be used in vehicles, machinery, and industrial applications.

This waste-to-energy process offers multiple benefits:

Environmental Protection: Prevents used cooking oil from entering waterways, reducing pollution
and harm to marine life.

Infrastructure Preservation: Reduces blockages in sewer systems, lowering maintenance costs for
Dubai’s wastewater treatment facilities.

Carbon Reduction: Produces biodiesel that emits fewer greenhouse gases than traditional fuels,
supporting Dubai’s climate goals.

Circular Economy: Transforms waste into a valuable resource, aligning with the principles of a

circular economy.

By encouraging residents and businesses to participate in UCO collection, Dubai is fostering a

community-driven approach to sustainability. Collection points are being established across the emirate,
making it easy for households to contribute to this green initiative.

Impact on Households and Businesses

For Dubai’s residents, this initiative offers a practical way to contribute to a greener future. Instead of
pouring used cooking oil down the sink a habit that can lead to costly plumbing issues and environmental
damage households can now dispose of it responsibly. Designated drop-off points and collection services
will make it convenient for residents to participate, turning everyday waste into a resource for renewable
energy.

Restaurants and commercial kitchens, which produce large volumes of UCO and FOG, stand to benefit
significantly. By partnering with BiOD Technology, these businesses can streamline their waste disposal
processes, reduce their environmental footprint, and align with Dubai’s sustainability regulations. This
initiative also enhances their reputation as environmentally responsible establishments, appealing to eco-
conscious customers.
