Lawmakers Boost Pressure on US to Find Fake Used Cooking Oil.

Lawmakers in the US are increasing pressure on the Biden administration to address the influx of potentially fraudulent used cooking oil (UCO) imports. The lawmakers are calling for the use of third-party certification to prevent fake supplies from entering the country. They argue that while major importers use testing and certifications to ensure the legitimacy of UCO, foreign renewable fuel producers and other companies are evading scrutiny, harming domestic fuel producers. Concerns have also been raised about the impact of UCO imports on American crops used for biofuels and the potential distortion of commodity values. [Extracted from the article]
