Watch: How you can convert used cooking oil into biofuel - and earn money in UAE

Ajman: Did you know that used cooking oil which you typically discard can actually be transformed into something valuable and environmentally friendly? In Ajman, you now have the opportunity to convert your used cooking oil into biofuel—and even earn money in the process.

Instead of throwing away used cooking oil, which can be harmful to the environment and clog up pipes, you can now turn it into biofuel. Biofuel is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional fuels and is derived from renewable sources like vegetable oils.

By participating in this programme, you will not only help reduce waste, but you will also be contributing to cleaner energy production.

How it works

The process is simple and convenient. All you need to do is collect your used cooking oil and call 80070. You’ll receive a container to store the oil safely, and then you can arrange for its collection. By taking this small, environmentally conscious step, you’ll be playing a part in a larger effort to protect the planet while benefiting from the biofuel programme.

This initiative doesn’t just help the environment—it also rewards participants. For each litre of used cooking oil you convert into biofuel, you can earn some cash.

Biofuel offers many benefits over traditional fossil fuels:

• It is eco-friendly: Biofuels are made from renewable resources, reducing reliance on oil and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.

• Waste reduction: By recycling used cooking oil, you help keep harmful substances out of landfills and waterways.

• Economic benefits: Supporting the local biofuel industry not only promotes sustainability but also boosts the local economy.

The civic authorities in Ajman urged households to call 80070 today to get their storage container and start making a difference
