CHENGDU – There’s a ritual involved in creating the perfect Sichuan hot pot and it involves fat – lots of it.
Responsible for around 2 per cent of the world’s total emissions of planet-warming gases, the aviation industry is under pressure to find greener ways to power its jet engines. The Chengdu-based company collects used oil, mostly from hot pot restaurants in the Sichuan capital of 16 million, and removes impurities such as sodium and metal particles.
China consumes more edible oil than any other country – more than 41 million tonnes a year. So far, less than 3 million tonnes of it ends up in the supply chain for biodiesel, a major type of biofuel that’s surged in price amid rising European demand, according to a report by state-owned People’s Daily in 2022.
