Collection partnership
Since 2007, the Roule ma frite 17 association has been collecting used oil sold by restaurant owners in Charente-Maritime. As part of a partnership, the oil group Picoty will now offer him a buyout price. Objective: secure collections.
Picoty will then entrust the esterification of the oil (chemical transformation) to a subsidiary of Veolia in Ile-de-France with a view to ultimately incorporating it into its petroleum products in La Rochelle.
Victor Mage, director of the La Rochelle Picoty site, indicated that the company hoped to collect nearly 100 tonnes this year and 500 tonnes within three years.
Eventually, the company should invest in an esterifier in order to consolidate all operations in Charente-Maritime.
Jobs and a positive impact on wastewater
Among the advantages of such a solution: the creation of “non-relocatable” jobs, emphasizes Victor Mage. Another negligible point: the positive impact of the device on the wastewater networks, the “non-management of the “oil increases the cost of water treatment by 15 to 20%” specifies the company.
Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
The Green MP Julien Bayou had defended an amendment on the subject, indicating as an argument that ten liters of properly reprocessed used oil could give eight liters of fuel and reject up to 90% less greenhouse gases. greenhouse than a conventional diesel.
The European Union considers that this fuel has “the lowest greenhouse gas emissions among all biofuels”. As part of a project called Recoil, it advocates the “energy recovery” of edible oils According to the Commission, this fuel is also “highly biodegradable” and does not harm food sovereignty.
Our opinion, by leblogauto.com
At present, the Senate only authorized the use of this fuel for “captive fleets”, which get their supplies from the same dedicated pump. Argument put forward for such a restriction of perimeters: the rates of pollution, of discharges into the atmosphere, considered still too high. But experimentation should allow progress in this area.

To sum up
While the Senate recently opened a breach, by legalizing the collection of used oils to produce biofuels,
two actors from Charente-Maritime, the association Roule ma frite 17 and Picoty, active in the distribution of fuels and lubricants and present in more than sixty departments, formalized this week a partnership for the collection and revaluation of used cooking oils ( HAU).
