TotalEnergies has recently announced a 15-year long-term supply agreement with Quatra, a leading European company in the collection and recycling of used cooking oil (UCO). The agreement will take effect in 2026 and will provide TotalEnergies’ biorefineries in Europe with a stable supply of 60,000 tons of used cooking oil annually for the production of biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Under the cooperation arrangement, Quatra will directly collect used cooking oil from restaurants, chain food service companies, and the food industry in France and several other European countries. These oils will undergo preliminary filtration at Quatra’s recycling facilities before being transported to TotalEnergies’ refineries, where they will serve as a key raw material for renewable fuel production.
This collaboration not only enhances TotalEnergies’ capabilities in securing renewable fuel feedstock but also marks a further deepening of Europe’s efforts to convert waste oil resources into high-value-added fuels. As the EU continues to advance its carbon reduction policies, a stable and reliable UCO supply chain will become a core competitive factor in the development of the SAF and biodiesel industries.
