Recycling Waste Cooking Oil into Biofuel
Living Fuels collects waste cooking oil from both the public and private sectors and produces a patented biofuel, LF100, under a leading edge End of Waste process.
We are different from other waste oil collection companies as we use the oil to generate renewable electricity and heat for customers throughout the UK. Our biofuel is unique as it is purified waste cooking oil without the addition of any chemicals or supplements.

Our Processing Plant
At Living Fuels we are constantly developing to provide more capacity for generating renewable energy from waste cooking oil. As part of our expansion we have been improving our processing plant to allow us to recycle more used oil into LF100 for energy production.
As part of this development, we have produced a short film to show what we have achieved which can be watched by following the link below.
