German biodiesel producer Petrotec AG said on Tuesday it plans to build two plants in the U.K. and the United States to produce biodiesel from waste chip fat and cooking oil collected from restaurants. One production plant is planned in each country producing about 100'000 tonnes of biodiesel annually from about 100'000 tonnes of waste cooking oils, said Petrotec CEO Roger Boeing. The company already produces about 85'000 tonnes of biodiesel annually at Borken in north Germany using waste cooking oil collected from restaurants, snack bars and cafes. German technology currently used would also be used to start production in the U.K. and the U.S., said Boeing.
