Calculations of CO2 savings are based on the amount of Used Cooking Oil (UCO) collected by Olleco, with the use of verified conversion factors published by the UK government. We currently only calculate emissions savings made within the UK.
Only the collections that have been completed are calculated and emissions saving totals do not include collections booked in for future dates until these are also completed.
Fossil fuel comparators are calculated based on conversion factors of traditional diesel in comparison to the conversion factor of Biodiesel (UCO Derived), which is calculated using the RED II methodology.
*Miles travelled equivalent is calculated using the gCO2e emissions from an average road car (1.2L Vauxhall Corsa) of 114 gCO2e/km.
