The DOST's Industrial Technology Development Institute (ITDI) has launched a Biodiesel Reactor capable of producing 800 liters of biodiesel per batch by blending used cooking oil with methanol and catalysts. The biodiesel generated is expected to serve the fisheries and agriculture sectors, powering various diesel-fed equipment.
DOST-ITDI is currently collaborating with local government units to streamline the collection of used oil, enhancing domestic fuel supply amidst fluctuating oil prices. The initiative aligns with regional efforts, as the Philippines seeks to adopt sustainable fuel practices similar to Indonesia's biodiesel usage.
