Under the background of continuous improvement of the food waste resource treatment system, the development trend of UCO industry is improving.
UCO, that is, Used Cooking Oil, the Chinese name is recycled waste edible oil, refers to an industrial-grade mixed oil generated after refining and purifying the inedible oil and fat produced during the production, processing, use and consumption of edible oil and meat as raw materials. UCO raw materials mainly include gutter oil, swill oil, old frying oil, waste kitchen grease, range hood condensate oil, etc., and come from a wide range of sources. UCO is one of the important raw materials for the production of biomass diesel. The waste edible oil methyl ester (UCOME) produced by it has obvious carbon emission reduction effect and complies with the current trend of green and sustainable development.
At present, many regions in China, including Beijing, Guangzhou, Shandong, Zhengzhou, and Taiyuan, have issued regional “Measures for the Management of Food Waste”, clarifying that qualified enterprises or units can collect, transport and process food waste. Such policies The introduction of this policy is of great significance to promoting the harmless and resource-based treatment of food waste in our country. At the same time, in May 2021, the country issued the “14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Urban Domestic Waste Classification and Treatment Facilities”, which proposed that by the end of 2025, the resource utilization rate of urban domestic waste nationwide will reach about 60%.
In the future, under the background of the continuous establishment and improvement of the domestic food waste management system and the continuous improvement of waste classification capabilities, the collection volume of high-utility waste grease will continue to increase and the resource utilization rate will continue to improve, which will continue to benefit the development of the domestic UCO industry. In 2021, my country’s food waste production has reached 130 million tons. The sufficient supply of raw materials has laid a good foundation for the development of my country’s UCO industry, and the industry development trend is good.
At present, domestic UCO is mainly used in the field of biodiesel. In recent years, against the backdrop of increasing domestic biodiesel production, UCO market demand has continued to increase and usage has continued to increase. my country’s biodiesel output in 2021 will be 13.542 million tons. Against this background, according to the UCO (Recycled Waste Edible Oil) Industry 2022-2027 released by the Industrial Research Center The “In-depth Market Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report” shows that UCO usage in the domestic biodiesel field will reach 1.748 million tons in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 51.27%. At this stage, my country has become the world’s major UCO producer, and UCO output shows a continuous growth trend.
In the future, against the background of the continuous advancement of dual-carbon goals at home and abroad, the market demand for biodiesel will continue to increase. According to data from the General Administration of Customs, domestic biodiesel exports will reach 1.294 million tons in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 42.04% from the previous year. Driven by the continued growth of terminal market demand, UCO, as an important raw material for biodiesel, will continue to see rising market demand, and the industry has broad prospects for development.
Industry analysts personnel said that in recent years, under the background of continuous improvement of the food waste collection and treatment system and the waste classification system, domestic waste oil and grease The collection volume continues to increase, and as waste oil is an important raw material for UCO, its sufficient supply will continue to benefit the development of the UCO industry; at the same time, biodiesel is the main application field of UCO. Driven by the continued growth of domestic and foreign biodiesel market demand, the demand for UCO is relatively large. broad. Under the current background of rapid development in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, the development trend of the domestic UCO industry is improving.
