What happened
EcoCeres, a Hong Kong-based company, is sourcing gutter oil from restaurants across the Greater Bay Area to produce sustainable aviation fuel. The recycled kitchen waste, once the subject of notorious food safety scandals in China, now commands premium pricing as a clean energy feedstock. The company operates in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, where the abundance of dining establishments provides a steady supply of cooking oil waste. This circular economy approach transforms a former health hazard into a high-value aviation fuel component.
