Fred. Olsen in cooking oil recycling initiative
Waste cooking oil from Fed. Olsen Cruise Lines ships is to be converted through a carbon negative process into a clean and efficient fuel.
The waste oil will be collected from the ships in Southampton and Dover, in special containers supplied by Canterbury-based start-up bio diesel producer Bio Driven.
The oil is filtered, analysed and washed, and then put through a process which removes the glycerine.
The glycerine-free bio diesel created by this process is then dosed to remove any chemical impurities and undergoes a final polishing and filtration, before being packaged ready for supply as environmentally friendly fuel.
Bio Driven, a member of the Environmental Industries Commission and the Renewable Energy Association, will also be donating 5p per litre to projects in Zimbabwe.
The line’s logistics director Matt Grimes said: “We are always looking for ways to make our operations more environmentally friendly and to recycle our waste material, so this venture is a ‘win-win’ situation for everyone.”
David Chalk of Bio Driven said: “We use pioneering technology in our plant facility, ensuring our production process to be carbon negative.”
