Application category

Bio-Diesel Fuel System
Winner
Kyoto City

Features of Equipment, Systems and Facilities
With the collaboration and understanding of the citizens, Kyoto City systematically collects waste edible oil from households and converts it to diesel fuel through a reaction with methyl ester.
This diesel is used to power all 220 waste collection vehicles operated by the city.
And because this bio-fuel produces much less sulfur oxide and black smoke than gas oil, its environmental effect should not be overlooked.
This project is indeed significant in that it effectively utilizes waste edible oil, which is difficult to dispose of, and stands as a good example of a successful recycling program involving all citizens.		 Bio-Diesel Fuel Station
