Argent Energy have developed the technology to deal with unconventional, degraded and challenging waste oils and fats.  These materials convert into biodiesel with no direct or indirect land use change.  The plant in Motherwell produces 60 million litres of sustainable biodiesel per year from a variety of waste oils.  They are in the process of working with companies to remove fat from sewers and process it through their unique technology to remove contamination and produce clean oil suitable for production of biodiesel.

 

A notable campaign that Argent were involved in was to power a fleet of Stagecoach buses with biodiesel produced from cooking oil provided by passengers in return for a cheaper bus ticket.  This not only reduced local waste but produced sustainable fuel for the buses and increased passenger numbers.
