Industry Updates:

Nov 2021 Uranus Oil Corp, a Chennai-based waste management and renewable energy solutions organization, compiles UCO for a fee and processes it to produce biodiesel, a greener version of diesel. Uranus just made history by collecting about 2.5 tonnes of UCO for one month from restaurants, hostels, canteens, and certain other similar locations mostly around Chennai. The company distributes RUCO cans to hotels, hostels, cafeterias, and other such sites to collect UCO. The gathered oil is then delivered to Pan Oleo Energy Limited (previously DCI Limited), a large-scale biodiesel manufacturer and renewable energy business in Tamil Nadu that turns UCO into biodiesel, a cleaner and healthier diesel alternative.
