Dubai is to become the first city in the world to formally adopt biodiesel made 100% locally from 100% waste cooking oil for use in its municipal vehicles. This follows the signing of a deal between the Municipality and Neutral Fuels LLC to replace diesel in its vehicles with clean biodiesel. This biodiesel does not require any engine modifications on diesel vehicles. Karl W Feilder, CEO & Chairman of Neutral Fuels (right), said: “This is a fantastic day for the UAE, for Dubai and for biodiesel.
