The utilization of used cooking oil as a biodiesel feedstock can be further optimized in Indonesia. Research by The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) in 2018 showed that, in addition to households, businesses such as restaurants and hotels have the potential to be major suppliers of used cooking oil.
Data compiled by the ICCT from various studies indicates that in Makassar, up to 547.5 kiloliters (KL) of used cooking oil could be collected from the hospitality, restaurant, and food industries. Meanwhile, in Bali, the figure reaches 156 KL.
In Jakarta, data collected from only five large restaurants, such as KFC, McDonald's, and Bebek Slamet, totaled 122.9 KL. This demonstrates the significant potential of the food service sector to generate used cooking oil that can then be processed into biodiesel.
